Produktbeschreibung

This book is an amazing resource for teachers who are struggling to help students develop both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. -Dr. Margaret (Peg) Smith, co-author of 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematical Discussions

Imagine that you assign a math problem and your students, instead of getting discouraged after not solving it on the first attempt, start working harder--as if on a quest to figure out the answer. What could possibly make this scenario come true? The answer is: Open Middle math problems and the strategies in this book.

• Select and create Open Middle math problems that will help you detect students' misconceptions and strengthen their conceptual understanding.
• Prepare for and facilitate powerful classroom conversations using Open Middle math problems.
