Rating: - Designing Effective Mathematics Instruction
My children were attending a charter school that was using Direct Instruction Math so I bought this book to see if was similar. It was the exact same math. This type of math is very unconventional and very repetitive. The children in the charter school after three years of using this math did worse than the public schools in the same town. I taught at the school for one year and found the Direct Instruction Math designed by S. Engleman and I had to pull my kids from the school because I could ... Read More

This book has been a Godsend for me and many other teachers who are more interested in "teaching" than in following the latest fad. Let us hope that more teachers read it.

Rating: - No teacher (school or home) should be without this book.
In an age of fads--fuzzy math, constructivism, whole language--that waste our children's time to learn (and make the faddist authors rich)--this book is both fresh air and hope. It will teach NEW teachers what their ed professors refused to teach (or don't know how to teach). And it will show parents what real math instruction is.

Whatever (ill-informed) reviewer wrote, "...today we are on the cusp of an age where thinking, and not the rote memorization of isolated rules and procedures," ... Read More
