  1. The common core mathematics standards : transforming practice through team leadership

    Hull, Ted H.
    Thousand Oaks, Calif. : Corwin Press ; Reston, VA : National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, c2012.

    The Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice describe the mathematical habits of mind that teachers, at all levels, should develop in their students, and without which the content standards cannot be successfully implemented. Attention to the Mathematical Practices connected with content must be enacted in teaching, which will require professional development. Though the CCSS Mathematical Content Standards differ in detail from other content standards, their form is familiar to teachers: a list of things to know. The Mathematical Practices are not so easily condensed into a lesson or unit, not so easily tested and, generally, not so familiar. Content standards are specified grade by grade and build on each other rather than repeating year after year. The Mathematical Practices are different. Though they can be enacted in an appropriate way at any level, they evolve and mature over years rather than days, along with children's cognitive development and the nature and sophistication of the Mathematical Content. It can be expected that the developers of the CCSS, and the states that collaborated in calling for the development of the CCSS, will work with the developers of assessments to ensure that the Mathematical Practices are taken seriously in testing. Hull, Miles, and Balka wrote this book as professional development resource to help school and math leaders grapple with the changes that must be addressed and move their teachers toward implementation of CCSS-required practices.

  2. Visible thinking in the K-8 mathematics classroom

    Hull, Ted H.
    Thousand Oaks, Calif. : Corwin, c2011.

    Do you ever wish your students could read each other's thoughts? Now they can-and so can you! Veteran mathematics educators Ted Hull, Don Balka, and Ruth Miles explain why making students' thought processes visible is the key to effective mathematics instruction. Their newest book contains numerous grade-specific sample problems and instructional strategies for teaching essential concepts such as number sense, fractions, and estimation. Among the many benefits of visible thinking are: - Interactive student-to-student learning - Increased class participation - Development of metacognitive thinking and problem-solving skills. Helpful features include vignettes, relevant word problems, classroom scenarios, sample problems, lesson adaptations, and easy-to-follow examples of each strategy in action. The authors also explain how students can demonstrate their thinking using calculators and online tools. The final chapter outlines steps maths leaders can take to implement visible thinking and maximize mathematics comprehension for all students.

  3. A guide to mathematics coaching : processes for increasing student achievement

    Hull, Ted H.
    Thousand Oaks, Calif. : Corwin, c2009.

    'The authors provide a commonsense approach for those who work directly with classroom teachers to support and improve teaching and learning. Easily read, this book lays out a simple plan for success as a mathematics coach' - Emily S. Rash, Mathematics Specialist, Monroe City School District, LA. Math coaches play a vital role in strengthening math instruction and learning in schools. However, without a collegial relationship with the teachers they are trying to help, it is difficult to foster productive collaborations that lead to better teaching practice and increased student achievement. This resource helps coaches confidently clarify, define, and fulfill their role as influential mathematics leaders. Based on principles established by NCTM and NCSM, this volume features a three-part process for engaging teachers in building high-quality, equitable mathematics programs. The chapters help coaches effectively: collaborate with teachers to align and implement curriculum that positively impacts student learning and achievement; build trust and rapport with hesitant or resistant teachers; develop collegial partnerships for planning, analyzing, and reflecting on instruction; and, support and sustain individual and institutional change. Filled with numerous vignettes to illustrate coaching practices and strategies to move teachers toward more effective instructional models, "A Guide to Mathematics Coaching" is an essential companion for transforming mathematics classrooms.
