I am honored to be the lead author of Math by the Book. I invite you to join me today (6/16) at the NCTE/NCTM Joint Conference (2:45 in Salon A2). So much to share about math + lit!!!

Elementary teachers know that stories spark curiosity—and they can spark mathematical thinking too! Math by the Book connects children’s literature to math instruction, helping students explore math concepts in meaningful, engaging ways. Learn more: http://spr.ly/633264E17o

2) questions just mean you’re curious.
3) I can do hard things.

Key 👏 words 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 work. STOP teaching them!
NO MORE CUBES (or whatever the acronym is)

Teach thinking and reasoning!

Data which suggests teaching key words is NOT effective for helping students arrive at correct solutions.
