Math (Grades 6-10) Do your students have difficulty understanding math terms? Remembering the steps of algorithms in sequence? Interpreting data in displays? Our math study skills program will help you teach them math and how to learn! Essential to the program is the comprehensive Teacher's Guide. It provides a focus on the importance of study skills, directions for using the student text, and practical suggestions for both the experienced and inexperienced teacher.

This volume provides 10-20-minute class activities for either the beginning or plenary stages of the daily maths lesson. Each file contains 30 activities, which focus on and practice a particular framework objective.

How can new and experienced teachers rethink the ways of teaching and learn to embrace and learn from the diversity they encounter among their students? Rather than preparing teachers to follow prescriptions or blueprints, Katherine Schultz suggests that we show them how to attend to and respond to the students they teach. In this book, she offers a conceptual framework for "deep listening," illustrating how successful teachers listen for the particularities of individual students, listen for the rhythm and balance of the whole class, listen for the broader contexts of students' lives, and listen for silence and acts of silence. Listening in this manner brings together knowledge of individual students, an understanding of a student's place within the classroom, and mastery of subject matter and pedagogy. This volume features compelling case studies that reveal the classroom lives of teachers who are exemplary listeners.
