This is a great book with ideas teachers can use the next day. I would have given it 5 stars but there were a few hangups for me. First, Common Core wants education to get away from using short-cuts (mnemonics) and that was a strategy suggested. Mnemonics are great once they understand. Another reason was that many ideas focused on strategies using the overhead projector. We don't have those anymore. However, many of the ideas could be morphed into tools available on Promethean boards and Smart boards.
Things I really liked: adaptations for left-handed students, and, how to read student eye movement to judge understanding! INTERESTING!
