They thoughtfully include guiding and reflectivequestions along with suggestions for differentiation and extensions of each task. The wide range of topicsmakes this perfect for any algebra course! -- Laura Ashley YoungBring the love of learning mathematics back into your classroom by implementing effectivemathematical practices, building numeracy skills in your students, and providing rich algebra tasks thatare engaging. Dougherty and Venenciano have done some great work to support educators that willenhance students learning and grit. -- Katie MajeresDougherty and Venenciano provoke us to reframe our thinking from, "can my students get the correctanswer for this task?" to "how can I use this task to help further my students understanding of themathematics?" The authors provide a vision, tools, and practical advice for strategically using engagingtasks to enhance students understanding of mathematical ideas and processes. -- Dewey GottliebThis is a treasure trove of amazing tasks and supporting materials! Framing the tasks in an overview ofresearch-grounded practices promotes fidelity and provides access for all students. Tasks presented in Part2 spell out the mathematical topics, content and practice alignments, watch-fors, anticipated solutions,prompts, and post-task notes that allow them to be efficiently integrated. -- Jessica IvyIts important to implement rich tasks that support students math proficiency, drawing from theirstrengths and assets. It can be difficult locating or creating math tasks that are both rich and assetbased.I am excited to use tasks from this book in my work at the university with preservice teachers, inprofessional development with in-service teachers, and working with grades 6–12 students. -- Jonathan D. BostieClassroom-Ready Rich Algebra Tasks is a must-have resource for all algebra teachers. Dougherty andVenenciano outline how to implement these tasks in your classroom and give numerous examples thatcould be used today. After more than a decade of teaching algebra and supporting algebra teachers, thisis a resource I wish I had when I started. -- Nick Davies Details ISBN1071889265 Short Title Classroom-Ready Rich Algebra Tasks, Grades 6-12 Pages 280 Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1071889265 ISBN-13 9781071889268 Format Paperback Subtitle Engaging Students in Doing Math UK Release Date 2023-06-14 Series Corwin Mathematics Series Imprint Corwin Press Inc Place of Publication Thousand Oaks Country of Publication United States NZ Release Date 2023-06-14 Publisher SAGE Publications Inc DEWEY 512.00712 Audience Professional & Vocational Publication Date 2023-07-04 US Release Date 2023-07-04 AU Release Date 2023-07-03 Author Linda C.
