Reviews
This book offers valuable insights about teaching multiplication and about lesson study. ... I highly recommend this book as an excellent resource for those involved with teaching multiplication or teaching elementary teachers. It provides compelling justification for the importance of using proper and consistent terminology, understanding the definitions of multiplication, posing open-ended tasks, and having an insightful questioning strategy. (Mary Beth Rollick, MAA Reviews, May 9, 2021)
