RightStart Mathematics is a comprehensive math program for children that is easy to teach and provides the foundation for everyday life, for advanced math, and for science in our technological world. The research-based elementary and intermediate RightStart Mathematics program is easy to use: the lessons tell you what to teach, and how and why, day by day and year by year. This unique program uses visualization of quantities, de-emphasizes counting, and provides visual strategies (mental pictures) for memorizing the facts. Understanding is emphasized. Math needs to be taught so 95 percent is understood and only 5 percent memorized. When children don't understand, they memorize until the burden becomes too great and then they give up. When children understand, they need less time in review and practice.
During his years working as an instructional coach for a national network of schools, Geoff Krall had the chance to witness several inspirational moments when math class comes alive for middle or high school students - when it is challenging but also fun, creative, and interactive. In Necessary Conditions: Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety, Quality Tasks, and Effective Facilitation, Krall documents the essential ingredients that produce these sorts of moments on a regular basis and for all students. They are Academic Safety, Quality Tasks, and Effective Facilitation. Academic Safety: Krall implements equitable classroom experiences that help fight stigmas associated with race and gender in schools. This allows students to feel socially and emotionally secure while nurturing their identities as mathematicians and increasing engagement during classroom discussions Quality Tasks: Teachers can adapt or create dynamic, student-centered lessons that break down math into small, manageable sections, removing the frustrations felt by students who aren't considered math people Effective Facilitation: This book shows how to incorporate teaching moves and math routines designed for engagement, persistence, and interactivity. Teachers can allow students to explore safely while maintaining consistent classroom expectations. "My work as a math instructional coach for a network of schools has afforded me the unique opportunity to visit exceptional teachers across the country, documenting their tasks, teaching moves, and academically safe learning environments. You'll experience dispatches from these effective classrooms in which we'll observe how teachers attend to all three elements that make up the ecosystem." - Geoff Krall from his book, Necessary Conditions.
