Review

"This is one of those rare opportunities when a teacher can read a book and become inspired to take ideas immediately back to the classroom and use them. This book provides an effective plan to help teachers reach all their students using proven and researched strategies. It guides today′s classroom teacher who is struggling to help a diverse student population become successful." Author: Amanda P. McKee, Math Instructor Published On: 2008-11-10

"This book provides refreshing strategies that work in the classroom. Bender has presented us with a variety of ways to differentiate instruction and foster dynamic learning. This work is a gift to individuals who are constantly looking for ways to improve their practice." Author: Scott Currier, Mathematics Teacher Published On: 2008-11-13

"William Bender′s book should be a necessity for the bookshelf of anyone who teaches math. It speaks to the educator who may be struggling to reach all math learners in his or her classroom. It also reaches the math coach who is inspired by Bender′s work and who wishes to spread this wealth of knowledge to other educators. There is truly something for everybody."

"A fantastic resource for first-year teachers and veterans alike. Bender’s research base combines with creativity and multiple approaches to yield a great reference that teachers can use over and over again." Author: Randy Wormald, Mathematics Teacher, Belmont High School, NH Published On: 2008-11-14

"The structure of the book invites teachers to enter into the text based on their questions―by design, a differentiated resource! The book is an excellent choice for a study group to begin the conversation on differentiation in mathematics. The inclusion of a facilitator′s guide provides further questions and activities for deepening teachers′ understanding of differentiation in mathematics." Author: Thelma A.
