It occurred to me, as I was contemplating my reply, that others may also be looking for the same thing.
Now typically, my favorite book is whichever one I may be currently reading. :) And this year has been a big one for Professional Development books of the Math variety. I will give you a couple of examples of great books you may want to add to your summer reading list. Perhaps later I can go into greater details about their unique content. You may have others that you think are worthy of mention. Jot me a note if you do. I am always looking for new resources to share with my teachers.
Here are two of my current favorites:

| Number Talks by Sherrie Parrish |

| Math Exchanges by Kassia Wedekind |
Congratulations! I've given you the One Lovely Blog award. SWING on over to my blog to check out all the details. :-)

I'm always so impressed with anyone who specializes in math! I'm glad I found your blog. I'm always looking for ideas to teach math to my students as I am not a math person by nature. I'm your newest follower!

Hi Cynthia! Glad to have another friend join us! The funny thing is that I didn't set out to specialize in Math either. I honestly felt it was my weakest area so I set out to improve it. The rest is history!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the book suggestions! I'm always looking for more professional reading on math! :)

Wild about Teaching!
Just found your blog. I'm still pretty new to blogging. Do you use any Origo math materials? Come check out my blog when you have some time.

Hi Storie! I am not familiar with Origo math. Is it inquiry based? I use the Investigations series by Pearson. I love it! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! I hope to have lots of fun stuff posted this summer so check back often!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to following you. I teach in Idaho, and my state is doing some major professional development in math these days. It's been an exciting few years, and it's amazing to see what mathematicians can really do. I've thoroughly enjoyed posting about it, although lots of teachers are tied to their teacher's manuals and I wonder what they think about my "crazy" ideas. Anyway, I was excited to come across your blog. (By the way, I just finished Student-Centered Mathematics by Van de Walle. I really enjoyed it.

Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems most of the country is taking a turn towards true inquiry based mathematics instruction. And it's about time! In Alabama, our focus has been on training and preparing for the new Common Core. I look forward to seeing the changes in our Mathematics Curriculum and in a future filled with true mathematical thinkers!
Thanks so much for your comment! It's great to see so many teachers excited about mathematics!
