Praise for this Resource
Math Pathways & Pitfalls helps students improve their critical thinking and mathematics skills through uncovering why the obvious answer is sometimes wrong and why the right answer works.
Henry Phillips, Elementary PrincipalThe misconceptions and pitfalls that Math Pathways & Pitfalls uncovers and corrects are ones that teachers and students have historically dealt with: from place value and number errors in the early grades, to whole number and rational number confusion in the upper grades. Using the methods in this book, teachers and students ‘get it.’
Susan Gruebele, Elementary Assistant PrincipalThe dual focus on student thinking and discourse is critical to helping teachers learn to be more effective.
Edward A. Silver, Professor of Education and Mathematics, University of Michigan
