    There are some great tips and ideas for teaching math. It’s a slow read, but good.

    John Van de Walle was a leader in teaching mathematics for understanding. I have been teaching secondary Mathematics since 1982 and taught middle school students for five years prior to that. I have used his materials since the second edition of this book was published in the mid-1980s and I am only sorry that I did not know about them sooner. John’s ideas are usable with kids at any level who struggle and the readings provide insight into what educators should look for in diagnosing the misunderstandings that lead to difficulties with mathematical concepts. If we emphasized concepts as well as process we would have vastly more students progressing through upper levels mathematics than is currently the case. If you want to make a difference in student math achievement, check the book out.

    I would recommend this company when looking for books. I looked for the book and after finding it here it was in my possession in less than a week. The book came ahead of schedule and matched the description that was provided. The book was in great shape, as was promised, and there were no marks at all. This is a good back for math and science teachers. It has a lot of great activities that can be used in the classroom. I will definitely use this company again in the future.
