Mine the Gap for Mathematical Understanding, Grades 3-5 Common Holes and Misconceptions and What To Do About Them

Wow! Mine the Gap for grades 3 5 teachers really unpacks! Not only does the book provide dozens
of great mathematical tasks, but perhaps more importantly it gives teachers the chance
to consider each task; anticipate student responses a critical first step in formative assessment;
analyze actual student responses; and then consider what they would do in the classroom.
Thoughts about modifying each task provide another option for each task. At a time when teachers
are encouraged to regularly provide students with tasks that promote reasoning and problem
solving, this book will help teachers dig deeper as they mine for understandings. Francis (Skip) Fennell
