Fourteen lessons explore estimation, word problems, multiplication, fractions, patterns, statistics, probability, geometry, and measurement. This book presents a lively, readable classroom vignette that describes Marilyn Burns's unique and inspiring approach to teaching problem-solving lessons.
This book was a great first exposure to Marilyn Burns, and was full of great ideas. It only has a handful of lessons-- it's no curriculum --but it really engaged me with her ideas and made me think a great deal about how I teach.
