Middle school high school math teachers edition books

Read my full review here. I wish I had found this book when I was learning early on about the 3-part math lesson. After years of tinkering and modifying how I was planning, delivering, and reflecting on my lessons, I eventually came up with what I called a 4-part math lesson. This book so clearly articulates what I was trying to do in my classroom for approximately 10 years.

Save yourself 10 years worth of experimenting by reading this book over a single weekend. One of my favourite education reads because this book helped me to better understand how humans not just children learn new information. Despite the subtitle suggests the book is targeted for Canadian Students from Kindergarten through Grade 8, the reality is that this book unpacks so much crucial mathematical understanding that is required for students to learn mathematics in elementary and middle school regardless of where they are located.

This book does a great job striking a balance between philosophical, pedagogical, and content knowledge for mathematics teachers. The following are great math books that have helped shift my thinking about mathematics in general and more specifically, how mathematics should be taught in our classrooms. It can be really difficult for educators like us to think about teaching mathematics outside of the experiences we had ourselves. Dive into this great read with Francis Su about how learning mathematics can help us become better human beings through the exploration of truth and justice.

The next section of math books have helped me along my journey to fuel sense making in my students. Despite the title of the book focusing in on elementary and middle school mathematics, this is a great book for all mathematics educators from Kindergarten through Grade Had I better understood how big ideas in mathematics develop from a young age into the high school grades, I could have been a much better high school math teacher.

Until I entered my role as a K Mathematics Consultant at the district level, I was unaware of how important the role of math leaders are to ensure that effective mathematics instruction is taking place across a district, school, or even mathematics department within a school.

The following math books have helped me to better understand the role of the administrator — at both the district and school level — are to ensure that we continue to improve mathematics instruction to meet the needs of all learners.

This book does a great job breaking down effective mathematics instruction into 6 Guiding Principles and takes a deep dive into each one. This is a great math read for leaders in education particularly principals who are looking to make positive change in mathematics instructional practice in their school. Not only do the messages build on those from the Principles to Actions book, but there are also many actionable pieces right in the book including look for lists, rubrics, and ideas for monitoring the math actions you are taking in your school.

After teaching for years in the high school math classroom, I eventually landed in a role where I split my timetable to teach grade 9 students in the morning and act as a math instructional coach in the afternoon. I eventually turned to books on coaching, mentoring, and counselling to help me. What I realized is that many of the skills learned through these books would have been extremely helpful during my time teaching students as well. Michael Bungay Stanier breaks down the role of coaching into really easy to understand and actionable pieces.

Dedicating his life to learning about the complexities of educational mentorship, Jim is eager to share his wisdom with all educators far and wide. This commitment is so strong that he offers all of his work openly for others to benefit from. Be sure to read and engage in his digital resources including eBooks, Mini-Modules, and more.

Although this next section does not include math books specifically, I have found these reads amazing to help me sharpen my skills as a teacher by learning how to become a better speaker and presenter.

These are books that I only became interested in once I started keynoting and presenting at conferences on a regular basis, but would have made me a much more effective teacher. Regardless of how much mathematics expertise we build, it is difficult to share what we know with our students unless we understand how learning happens. This is a great read that is really intended for leaders in business like CEOs and managers of large companies, however the messaging is easily transferrable to whatever your role in education.

This is a great hardcover book that I have on the bookshelf right near the bed of my children. Log out. Log in. View Cart. Join Now. NCTM Store. Toggle navigation MENU. Log In Not a member?
