Using Formative Assessment to Differentiate Mathematics Instruction, Grades 4-10 by Leslie E. Laud "This practical and thought-provoking book offers time-saving strategies essential for every teacher in every discipline. The numerous self-assessments demonstrate that the best formative assessments are not merely given "to" students but are an interactive learning experience involving students, teachers, and professional colleagues." --Douglas B. Reeves, Founder The Leadership and Learning Center "This book provides a wealth of information for teachers and mathematics leaders to consider when implementing intervention models, RTI programs, and differentiated instruction for low achievers through high achievers." --Don S. Balka, Professor Emeritus St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN "Many of the seemingly abstruse or vague concepts--such as differentiated instruction--come alive in the numerous vignettes. Included are many examples of ways to quickly assess relevant student background knowledge before teaching a new topic and how to use this information for tiered instruction following an RTI (Response to Intervention) model." --From the foreword by Russel Gersten Director, Instructional Research Group & Professor Emeritus, University of Oregon Seven easy steps to differentiating math instruction for busy teachers Are you able to support your struggling students while also challenging your high achievers? Abundant research supports the value of differentiating instruction to students' individual levels, but putting it into practice can be daunting. Staff development expert and former math teacher Leslie Laud provides a clear roadmap for using formative assessment to differentiate mathematics instruction for students in Grades 4-10. She provides a comprehensive framework of seven research-based practices that show how to: Get started and establish norms Implement formative assessment Create tiered lessons Manage a multitasking classroom effectively Tested and enhanced by experienced math teachers, the book's strategies are designed for use in conjunction with any curriculum or textbook. Included are a wealth of practical examples, reproducibles, and student activities--all developed with effective time management in mind.

Access and Equity: Promoting High-Quality Mathematics in Grades 6-8 by Anthony Fernandes, Sandra Crespo, Marta Civil "Examines issues related to access, equity, and empowerment in middle school mathematics classrooms, focusing on diversity as a resource and addressing three critical and intertwined factors: (1) teaching practices that build on students' strengths, (2) rigorous content that draws on students' experiences, (3) fostering relationships with diverse students. Chapters (many written in collaboration between researchers and practitioners) show students engaging in powerful mathematical discussions; teachers adapting instruction to meet the needs of all students while maintaining high expectations; curriculum that draws on the resources that students bring to the classroom; teachers examining their own beliefs and expectations about teaching and learning; tools that encourage teachers to analyze and review their lessons with an equity lens; and more." - Back cover

Key Ideas in Teaching Mathematics by Anne Watson; Keith Jones; Dave Pratt Big ideas in the mathematics curriculum for older school students, especially those that are hard to learn and hard to teach, are covered in this book. It will be a first port of call for research about teaching big ideas for students from 9-19 and also has implications for a wider range ofstudents. These are the ideas that really matter, that students get stuck on, and that can be obstacles to future learning. It shows how students learn, why they sometimes get things wrong, and the strengths and pitfalls of various teaching approaches. Contemporary high-profile topics like modellingare included.The authors are experienced teachers, researchers and mathematics educators, and many teachers and researchers have been involved in the thinking behind this book, funded by the Nuffield Foundation. An associated website, hosted by the Nuffield Foundation, summarises the key messages in the book andconnects them to examples of classroom tasks that address important learning issues about particular mathematical ideas.
