Good Questions: Great Ways to Differentiate Mathematics Instruction in the Standards-Based Classroom

by Marian Small

Now in its Third Edition—expanded with over 100 new tasks and questions—this bestselling resource helps experienced and novice teachers to effectively and efficiently differentiate mathematics instruction in grades K–8. Math education expert Marian Small shows teachers how to get started and become expert at using two powerful and universal Open Questions and Parallel Tasks. This volume includes key changes that will make it easier for teachers to use in all quality state standards environments, including direct links to Common Core content standards and standards for mathematical practice. Classroom examples, many new for this edition, are provided at each grade K–2, 3–5 and 6–8. Along with each example, the text describes how teachers can evoke productive conversations that meet the needs of a broad range of learners. Book “A must for an educator who is serious about reaching more students more often and achieving more positive results.”
— Resources for the Mathematics Educator (from previous edition) “When I read Marian Small’s work, I see the power of math revealed, but I also see her work opening that power to so many students who might never otherwise experience it. . . . I am a disciple of her approach to differentiating math!”
— From the Foreword by Carol Ann Tomlinson , William Clay Parrish Jr. Professor and Chair of Educational Leadership, Foundations, and Policy, University of Virginia
