Your Guide to Engaging and Effective Math InstructionWith the latest research on what works best in teaching and learning, The Mathematics Playbook is your comprehensive guide to enhancing mathematics teaching and learning. With a focus on fostering equity and maximizing student learning, the authors provide practical modules that integrate the latest research on effective teaching practices, and answer four critical questions: How do we foster, nurture, and sustain mathematics learning? How do we ensure all learners have equity of access and opportunity? What are the non-negotiables in a high-quality mathematics task? How do we know if learners really "get it"?Through real-life examples and an emphasis on self-assessment and reflection, this playbook empowers you to create engaging and impactful learning experiences in mathematics.

Provide students a clear view of what success looks like for any process, task, or product.What does success look like for your students? How will they know if they have learned? This essential component of teaching and learning can be difficult to articulate but is vital to achievement for both teachers and students. The Success Criteria Playbook catapults teachers beyond learning intentions to define clearly what success looks like for every student¿whether face-to-face or in a remote learning environment. Designed to be used collaboratively in grade-level, subject area teams¿or even on your own¿the step-by-step playbook expands teacher understanding of how success criteria can be utilized to maximize student learning and better engage learners in monitoring and evaluating their own progress. Each module is designed to support the creation and immediate implementation of high-quality, high impact success criteria and includes:¿ Templates that allow for guided and independent study for teachers. ¿ Extensive STEM-focused examples from across the K-12 STEM curriculum to guide teacher learning and practice. ¿ Examples of success criteria applied across learning domains and grades, including high school content, skills, practices, dispositions, and understandings.

However, we cannot help students be assessment-capable learners if teachers are not assessment-capable themselves. Teachers create assessment-capable learners through various targeted "moves" designed to:  Increase teacher clarity   Use the right teaching strategies at the right time Provide effective feedback to learners Model effective learning strategies themselvesOn-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate "cheat sheet" to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching. Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher. Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.Use the On-Your-Feet Guides When you know the "what" but need help with the "how" As a quick reference to support a practice you learned in a PD workshop or book To learn how to implement foundational practices When you want to help your students learn a specific strategy, routine, or approach, but aren¿t sure how to do it yourself

This book presents an instructional framework that provides readers with a systematic means to ensure that both teacher and student clarity is present.

How can teachers generate those lightbulb "aha" moments of understanding for their students? This book helps to answer that question by showing Visible Learning strategies in action in high-impact mathematics classrooms.

This book helps teachers leverage the most effective teaching practices at the most effective time to meet the surface, deep, and transfer learning needs of mathematics students.

This book guides teachers to the right instructional approach to use at each learning phase so all students demonstrate more than a year's worth of science learning per school year.

John Almarode and Ann Miller provide numerous strategies and a model for developing engaging science and math lessons and units that captivate students, activate prior knowledge, and invigorate student interest by making lessons rigorous and relevant.
