"The Standards for Mathematical Practice are written in clear, concise language. ... In this ... book, Mike Flynn provides teachers with a clear and deep sense of these standards and shares ideas on how best to implement them in K-2 classrooms. Each chapter is dedicated to a different practice. Using examples from his own teaching and vignettes from many other K-2 teachers, Mike does the following: invites you to break the cycle of teaching math procedurally; demonstrates what it means for children to understand, not just do, math; explores what it looks like when young children embrace the important behaviors espoused by the practices; ... [and] ... provides readers with glimpses of classroom dialogue, teacher reflections, and examples of student work."--Amazon.com.
