Reading
Visible Learning for Mathematics by John Hattie, et.al
Making Thinking Visible by Ron Ritchhart
Read
Teaching Students to Communicate Mathematically by Laney Sammons. This fits nicely with Minds on Mathematics by Wendy Ward Hoffer. I’ve heard a rumor that my school is going to work on PEBC’s thinking strategies this year.
The Power of Our Words by Paula Denton, EdD. I’ve read this last year. We got this from our principal for summer reading this year.
Routines for Reasoning by Grace Kelemanik, et, al, This is the second reading of this book, to remind me of the routines and structures.
Comprehending Problem Solving by Arthur Hyde (parts for the 2nd time). A little hard to read, in my opinion – maybe it wasn’t what I was looking for.
Yep, there is a theme. I really want to work on students talking and writing about math this year.
