An excellent big-picture approach to teaching mathematics. --Sally L. Smith
<p> This is an excellent resource for teachers of K-12 math with struggling learners . . . It is a book that demonstrates many ways the mathematics teacher can make students' thoughts and ideas overt . . . The [authors] present ideas that will generate attention, interest, and surprise among students, and thus will foster creative thinking. --Zafer Unal, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg; Reviewed in Education Review-Brief Reviews (11/30/2007)

Author Information
Dr. Allsopp is Assistant Dean for Education and Partnerships in addition to being the David C. Anchin Center Endowed Chair and Director of the David C. Anchin Center at the College of Education at the University of South Florida. He is also Professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning-Special Education Programs. Dr. Allsopp holds degrees from Furman University (B.A., Psychology) and the University of Florida (M.Ed., Learning Disabilities; Ph.D., Special Education). Dr. Allsopp teaches at both the undergraduate and doctoral Levels, and his scholarship revolves around effective instructional practices, with an emphasis on mathematics, for students with high-incidence disabilities (e.g., specific learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Social-emotional/behavior disorders) and other struggling learners who have not been identified with disabilities. Dr. Allsopp also engages in teacher education research related to how teacher educators can most effectively prepare teachers to address the needs of students with disabilities and other struggling learners. Dr. Allsopp began his career in education as a middle school teacher for students with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral difficulties in Ocala, Florida. After completing his doctoral studies at the University of Florida, Dr. Allsopp served on the faculty at James Madison University for 6 years. He has been a member of the faculty at University of South Florida since 2001. Dr. Lovin began her career teaching mathematics to middle and high school students before making the transition to Pre-K through Grade 8. For over 20 years, she has worked in elementary and middle school classrooms. Then and now, Dr. Lovin engages with teachers in professional development as they implement a student-centered approach to teaching mathematics. At the time of this publication, she focused her research concerning teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching on the developmental nature of prospective teachers' fraction knowledge. She has published articles in Teaching Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, Teaching Exceptional Children, and the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. She coauthored the Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics Professional Development Series with John A. van de Walle, Karen Karp, and Jenny Bay-Williams (Pearson, 2013). Dr. Lovin is an active member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Education, and the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
