Children's Mathematics, Second Edition: Cognitively Guided Instruction 1st Edition

arrived within noticed time, happy to read the book

This is a great book! Every teacher should have a copy.

The ability to see a video of students working math problems through the use of bar codes is the best idea I have seen in a teacher resource in 30+ years of teaching. The book was fantastic before, but the updates make it a teacher must have. We use Cognitive Guided Instruction in our K-8 district for math instruction. My son is a sophomore at the high school. His geometry math teacher requires parents to attend individual tutoring sessions on Saturdays. I found the teacher to be very skilled in following the student's lead in working through problems. When I commented on how well he supported student learning, he turned and pulled Children's Mathematics off of his shelf to share with me. He was surprised to find out it is a resource in the hands of every elementary teacher in our district. He had purchased the book as a resource when going to work in the Peace Corps.

This book was one of my textbooks for a curriculum and instruction class. I was trying to be frugal and opted to rent this book instead of buying it. I am going to have to buy this book thought because it's great! I will certainly be using Cognitively guided instruction in my future classroom and I learned so much.

As a teacher who struggles with math curriculum, this book has served as an excellent resource. Simply written and well-organized.

I bought this book for school and it’s very informative. It provides children’s work as examples, you can scan codes through the pages and it directs you to videos. Instead of just reading you can actually see the videos. Very easy to understand, very well explained.

I am a reading specialist, so I've not had a lot of in depth professional development on math instruction. What I got in college 15 years ago was nothing compared to what I've learned from reading this book. I just wish I had known this sooner, as it would have radically changed the way I think about how math instruction should be handled. EXCELLENT resource!

The book is in excellent condition, and the price was great!
