The Math Pact, Elementary: Achieving Instructional Coherence Within and Across Grades

by Karen S. Karp, Barbara J. Dougherty, Sarah B. Bush

A schoolwide solution for mathematics success! When "rules" seem to change from year to year, mathematics can seem like a disconnected mystery for students. Clear up the confusion with a Mathematics Whole-School Agreement! Expanded from the highly popular "Rules that Expire" series of NCTM articles, this essential guide leads educators through the collaborative step-by-step process of establishing a coherent and consistent learner-centered and equitable approach to mathematics instruction. You’ll learn to avoid "rules that expire"―tricks that may seem to help students in one grade but hurt in the long run. Features include ·         Abundant grade-specific examples ·         Effective working plans for sustainability ·         Barrier-busting tips, to-dos, and try-it-outs ·         PLC prompts and discussion points

This was an excellent guide for aligning math content across a school and/or district. I can't wait to enact this with my teachers.

If you are a math coach or instructional leader, you should definitely read this one - and then start up a MWSA at your school!

Excellent book for a school study. We used this book as a guide to create our own whole school math agreement. Faculty loved this book.
