Some reviews for Traditional Math

Shameless Self-Promotion Dept.

Here’s what some people are saying about “Traditional Math”:

“Whenever I'm at a loss for examples to effectively teach specific math concepts and procedures, I turn to this book. The explanations are clear, and the examples are relevant and easy to follow, making it an invaluable tool in my teaching arsenal.” —Zach Groshell, author of “Just Tell Them”

"This gem of a book reveals the authors' unique approach of teaching to novice learners, identifying common errors and misunderstandings, explaining how to support students in mastering the fundamentals and—most importantly—leading students to mathematical success."
Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D., founder SpringMath

"Teachers using this text will find that it actually improves their teaching instead of hindering it. Students will experience the success that comes from learning mathematics presented in a logical and coherent manner."
—Vern Williams, middle school math teacher, and member of the President's National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2006-2007.

"There are two main approaches to learning most things—play around until you figure it out, or have someone help you learn it, step by step. Both can be effective, but the latter is usually more efficient, especially for students who learn more slowly. That's why this book matters."
Dylan Wiliam

"I can't recommend this book enough. If your students' fluency, proficiency and deeper understanding of Math is your goal, then this book is for you."
Mike Sullivan; teacher

“The authors are combatting new and unproven methods of teaching math with traditional approaches, which the current educational inner party considers "bad". What actually is bad is the math outcomes over the past decades, so it's really incumbent on those in charge to question their current philosophy and tactics.” James Minyard; teacher

“Garelick and Wilson have a warm, inviting writing style and sly humor, and you will learn from them how to leverage a love of math through being successful at math. No need to “build a thinking classroom” because your students will have to think hard by practicing math and showing their thinking during scratch-paper time!” Tom Koenig, teacher
