Customer Reviews: Really helps kids understand Math! November 10, 2008 Great book. My entire staff is reading this book and beginning to implement some of the lessons from the book. The first chapter alone should be read by every person teaching Mathematics. It really helps teachers think about why we teach the way we do, how kids develop an understanding of Math and why we have to do things differently. Review of TSCMath by Van de Walle May 27, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Very worthwhile purchase for anyone who teaches math to intermediate students. The suggested activities are not found in any other math books I have seen and should help create math learners who are not "formula" driven. Valuable Source November 7, 2006 12 out of 14 found this review helpful I like this book, I own both K-2 3-5. There's alot of overlap so I recommend which ever age group you would use it with more. Everything a new teacher needs to start off right August 30, 2006 29 out of 29 found this review helpful A professor recommended Van de Walle's books to me so I bought this one. This book explains how to teach math so that students build on existing knowledge, rather than learn sets of algorithms without understanding their meaning. It offers a range of specific lessons for all math topics for grades 5 - 8, it explains how to teach the same topics to diverse learners, how to teach to the standards. It comes with amazing templates that are downloadable. It shows you how to take advantage of your existing math textbook, supplementing it to make it more student-focused. Excellent resource for middle school/junior high teachers July 30, 2006 13 out of 13 found this review helpful Van de Walle breaks down problem based classrooms in an understandable format. This book really helps teachers hone their skills in hands on/problem based teaching for mathematics. There are lots of activities to help you teach your students. This book is a must have for 5-8 Mathematics teachers.br /
