Synopsis

Real-time strategies for real-life results!

It’s all too familiar: A classroom of 25+ students―all with very different needs and learning styles. Do you sometimes feels more like a juggler than a math teacher, struggling to keep all those balls in air? William Bender is prepared to lend a hand with this new edition of what’s certainly the most important book on differentiating math instruction written in recent years.

Just what makes Differentiating Math Instruction such a favorite among K-8 teachers? It’s the only book that successfully blends the best of what technology has to offer with guidelines for meeting the objectives set forth by the Common Core. Every new innovation in math instruction is addressed:

• Flipping math instruction
• Project-based learning
• Using Khan Academy in the classroom
• Educational gaming
• Teaching for deeper conceptual understanding

 Before long, all of your students will engage more deeply with math content, no matter their pace or learning style.

"This is a great book that can be applied to any classroom, not just the math classroom! I have pages bookmarked already to explore!"
--Rachel Spenner
