As an elementary teacher, youknowthat students are different and learn differently. And yet, when students enter your classroom, you somehow must teach these unique individuals deep mathematics content using rigorous standards. Is differentiation really the answer? How can it be done well and in less time? Nationally recognized math differentiation expert Nanci Smith debunks the myths, revealing what differentiation is and isnt. In this engaging book Smith reveals a practical approach to teaching for real learning differences. Youll gain insights into an achievable, daily differentiation process forALLstudents in the K-5 classroom. Theory-lite and practice-heavy, this book shows how to maintain order and sanity while helping your students know, understand, and even enjoy doing mathematics. Classroom videos, teacher vignettes, ready-to-go lesson ideas, and rich K-5 mathematics examples help you build a manageable framework of engaging, sense-making math. Busy K-5 mathematics teachers, coaches, and teacher teams will learn to Provide practical structures for assessing how each of your students learns and processes mathematical conceptsDesign, implement, manage, and formatively assess and respond to learning in a differentiated classroomPlan specific, standards-aligned differentiated lessons, activities, and assessmentsAdjust current instructional materials and program resources to better meet students? needs This book includes classroom videos, in-depth student work samples, student surveys, templates, before-and-after lesson demonstrations, examples of 5-day sequenced lessons, and a robust companion website with downloadables of all the tools in the books plus other resources for further planning. Every Math Learner, Grades K-5will help you know and understand your students as learners in order to provide daily differentiation that accelerates their mathematics comprehension. "Every Math Learner is a powerful tool for educators serious about meeting the needs of all learners in their mathematics classrooms. Nanci Smith balances philosophy with practicality while providing a glimpse into real classrooms with real students. Teachers will ultimately learn how to lift students up to their greatest potential in learning." Eileen Hogan, District Mathematics Facilitator, Winnetka District #36
