"This book is a resource for teachers with easy to understand strategies to use in the Math classroom that really are common sense strategies coupled with research.  Along with the research, each strategy aligns with Common Standards and provides teachers with Classroom Applications.  There are many strategies for teachers to try within each chapter because one-size does not fit all.  Each strategy also provides Precautions and Possible Pitfalls which indicate that these strategies have been tried by teachers with experience and with this background knowledge, can certainly be implemented into a Math classroom."
