Teaching Mathematical Thinking: Tasks and Questions to Strengthen Practices and Processes

Overview

This new resource by math education expert Marian Small helps schools and districts to refine their teaching of standards-based mathematical practices. Small devotes a chapter to each of the eight standards of practice and includes a discussion of what each standard looks like in grades K–2, 3–5, and 6–8. Specific attention is given to helping students make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (Standard 1) and encouraging students to create viable mathematical arguments and to effectively and respectfully critique the reasoning of others (Standard 3). The author also discusses how to formatively assess student performance for each practice standard. To provide additional support to U.S. teachers in their instructional planning, this resource includes attention to the Canadian math processes of visualization and mental math and estimation.

Reviews

This is a resource that could be used by new and experienced K-8 teachers as they deepen their understanding of each SMP or as they explore different tasks used with their students. It would also be a powerful tool used by a data team or mathematics department to explore different ways to deepen students' experiences and use the data from these tasks to reflect on their own practices. As teachers seek tasks that require students to persevere in their thinking and problem solving, this book is a worthy resource. The author provides a thoughtful collection of ways for readers to facilitate students' development of these practice standards as they learn what it takes to think like a mathematician. --Mathematics Teacher
