About Traditional Math: An Effective Strategy That
Review "This gem of a book reveals the authors' unique approach of teaching to novice learners, identifying common errors and misunderstandings, explaining how to support students in mastering the fundamentals and—most importantly—leading students to mathematical success." Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D., founder SpringMath "Teachers using this text will find that it actually improves their teaching instead of hindering it. Students will experience the success that comes from learning mathematics presented in a logical and coherent manner." —Vern Williams, middle school math teacher, and member of the President's National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2006-2007. Product Description From the foreword by Paul A. Kirschner, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology - Open University of the Netherlands; Guest Professor - Thomas More University of Applied Sciences "This book will, hopefully, provide an arsenal of tools and techniques to break through this downward spiral in teaching and learning math. First off, it breaks through the myth and straw man that explicit instruction is just boring chalk-and-talk rote learning of facts that cannot be applied when needed. It also breaks with the misrepresentation that traditional math teaches kids to work as automatons without understanding what they do."
