The math teacher's go-to resource—now updated for the Common Core!
What works in math and why has never been the issue; the research is all out there. Where teachers struggle is the “how“—something the research rarely manages to tackle. That's the big service What Successful Math Teachers Do provides. It's a powerful portal to what the best research looks like in practice, strategy by strategy—aligned in this new edition to both the Common Core and the NCTM Standards.
How exactly does What Successful Math Teachers Do work? It couldn't be easier to navigate. The book's eleven chapters organize clusters of strategies around a single aspect of a typical instructional program. For each of the 80 strategies, the authors present: A brief description of that strategy; A summary of supporting research; The NCTM and Common Core Standards it meets--and how; Classroom applications, with examples; Precautions and possible pitfalls; Primary sources for further reading and research
Whether you're a newly minted math teacher or veteran looking to fine-tune your teaching, What Successful Math Teachers Do is your best resource for successful standards-based instruction.

Aligning Chapter 7 to the Common Core State Standards
Mathematics has an organization about it that lends itself to transference. So, students who become familiar with embedded structures within smaller problems and prior understandings to new ideas will be prepared to meet the requirements of the new Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and the newly designed assessments. Students will be asked to apply their knowledge in new ways, and they will see questions on tests that do not mimic but apply multiple concepts in one problem. This chapter provides the teacher with research-based approaches to instruction that will help students in this new era of the CCSSM.
