Praise for the First Edition!


''A must for any educator who is serious about reaching more students more often and achieving more positive results.''

--Resources for the Mathematics Educator


''This is a valuable book for mathematics teachers, teacher educators, and faculty involved in differentiated instruction.''

--Choice


''This book is a great resource, with realistic applications to current instruction and tips for creating solid math discourse with your students.''

--Mathematics: Teaching in the Middle School


''The glossary is a great resource for math language, and the index of big ideas provides a snapshot of focus points. . .I highly recommend this user-friendly resource for all mathematics teachers.''

--Teaching Children Mathematics


''User-friendly teaching examples of questions and tasks will enable teachers to empower learners on all levels, and the tasks are presented with real-world scenarios that students will relate to as intriguing challenges.''

--Carolyn Chapman, Creative Learning Connections, Inc., and Rita King, King Learning Associates


Expanded to include connections to Common Core State Standards, as well as National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards, this critically acclaimed book will help every teacher and coach to meet the challenges of differentiating mathematics instruction in the K-8 classroom. In this bestseller, math education expert Marian Small explains two powerful and universal strategies that teachers can use across all math content: Open Questions and Parallel Tasks. Showing teachers how to get started and become expert with these strategies, Small also demonstrates more inclusive learning conversations that promote broader student participation and mathematical thinking required by CCSS. Specific strategies and examples for each grade band are organized around NCTM content strands: Number and Operations, Geometry, Measurement, Algebra, and Data Analysis and Probability.

This book gives excellent suggests for using Open Questions and Parallel Tasks in mathematics as a way to differentiate mathematics instruction for a variety of learners. It includes sample questions and tasks in the five strands at three grade bands (k-2, 3-5, and 6-8). In addition, there are now connections to Common Core standards in the new edition.

I ordered this book during my student teaching internship as per a recommendation from my co-operating teacher. I used this book for warm ups in Math and it was excellent. The questions are all open enough that students at varying levels are all able to contribute.

This is the first resourse I go to when planning instruction. With its correlation to the Common Core Math Standards it's easy to find just the right questions to stretch students' thinking in ways that are true to both the practice and content standards.

3.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book only offers TWO strategies for differentiating mathematics in the classroom: open questioning and parallel tasks. The entire book is filled with hundreds of examples of open questioning and parallel tasks throughout grades k-8. It also offers suggestions for creating your own but as far as strategies for differentiating there are only two. The book should be called Two great ways to differentiate mathematics instruction. I will definitely use it as a point of reference while unit planning for examples of questions and tasks. However, overall, it was a great disappointment,

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical tool for engaging students
Reviewed in Canada on August 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a well written and practical resource for teachers looking to engage all learners. Each math strand is dealt with separately and includes open questions and tasks divided by grade clusters (i.e K to 2). The ideas are creative and stimulating to read and are well worth trying in the classroom. I expect to be inspired by this tool for years.
