Teaching Mathematics through Problem Solving K-8
Students learn mathematics best when they actively explore problems, connect solution methods, and synthesize ideas at just the right moment. Yet in many classrooms, this balance tips too quickly toward telling students how to solve problems, leaving less room for them to do the real mathematical work.
Teaching Mathematics Through Problem Solving K–8, Expanded Edition bridges research and practice to show how problem-based instruction can transform learning. Building on the central focus of the best-selling first edition, this newly expanded and redesigned volume brings forward the original authors’ vision for teaching through problem solving, enriched with fresh context, current research, and expert insights.
Each chapter ends with “Talk About It” and “Try It” suggestions to help educators turn ideas into action, while a brand-new Section 3 offers practical guidance for getting started with problem-based learning right away.
Drawing on vivid classroom examples and educator insights, this resource offers:
A clear, practical framework for problem-based learning in mathematics;
Strategies for supporting student thinking, fostering a mathematical community, integrating technology, and ensuring access to grade-level content;
Tools and guidance for leaders to champion and sustain problem-based instruction.
Ideal for K–8 teachers, coaches, principals, and district leaders, this versatile book allows you to dive into any chapter and find ready-to-use ideas.
