This book provides descriptive cases, accompanied by analytic commentaries, of nine upper-elementary grade mathematics lessons that represent an array of sound teaching practices. The cases focus on various mathematics topics and were written from authentic lessons taught by regular classroom teachers to diverse groups of students. Each lesson contains elements of sound instructional practice as well as potential dilemmas from which both preservice and in-service teachers can benefit.
