This is very helpful for any math PLC. You should have knowledge of what PLCs are before reading this. I really liked how the authors broke down the 8 Mathematical Practices and the focal points for grades 3-5.
This is a well organized book for schools to use when implementing common core mathematics in a PLC at their school. I'm not going to read this book since my state has dropped common core testing and is working on creating their own standards.
This book is an overview of what the new CCSS for math look like. There's Lots of good info and ideas I can take back to my team. It was a relatively quick read which I appreciated. Worth the read.
