Review
Practical yet rigorous, Motivation Matters helps teachers understand that all students can be motivated, and provides research-based strategies for engaging students in challenging mathematics. The authors respect teachers and their intelligence: They tell stories to illustrate how research is reflected in practice, but they offer no quick fixes. Instead, the book engages the teacher s most basic motivation: How can I reach these children at this time, to help them realize their mathematical and personal potential? This is one that you will want to read. --Glenda Lappan Professor, Michigan State University Past President, NCTM (1998 2000)
