Guided by the vision of the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, NCTM has developed a series of books designed to help teachers determine how to support high-quality mathematics learning for diverse student populations in the classroom. The instructional strategies presented in this volume reflect that diversity can come in various forms and provides articles written by teachers who have experimented with different teaching techniques in the classroom. Articles are presented in three formats, including cases of classroom practice, instructional strategies, and teacher development. The articles demonstrate how connecting real-life activities with mathematical concepts, and building on students' knowledge and experiences can help them excel in the classroom. Also provided, are strategies that can immediately be implemented to help students form better connections with the content they are studying.

Recognizing that no one method will work for all students, this book strives to help teachers determine strategies, both affective and cognitive, that support all students as they learn mathematics.
