VISIBLE LEARNING FOR MATHEMATICS, GRADES K-12 IBD

Sinopsis

Rich tasks, collaborative work, number talks, problem-based learning, direct instruction&hellip,with so many possible approaches, how do we know which ones work the best? InáVisible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it&rsquo,s not about which one&mdash,it&rsquo,s about when&mdash,and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year&rsquo,s worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school.That&rsquo,s a high bar, but with the amazing K-12 framework here, you choose the right approach at the right time, depending upon where learners are within three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. This results in &ldquo,visible&rdquo, learning because theáeffect is tangible. The framework is forged out of current research in mathematics combined with John Hattie&rsquo,s synthesis of more than 15 years of education researcháinvolvingá300 million students.áChapter by chapter, and equipped with video clips, planning tools, rubrics, and templates, you get the inside track on which instructional strategies to use at each phase of the learning cycle:áSurface learning phase:áWhen&mdash,through carefully constructed experiences&mdash,students explore new concepts and make connections to procedural skills and vocabulary that give shape to developing conceptual understandings.Deep learning phase:áWhen&mdash,through the solving of rich high-cognitive tasks and rigorous discussion&mdash,students make connections among conceptual ideas, form mathematical generalizations, and apply and practice procedural skills with fluency.Transfer phase:áWhen students can independently think through more complex mathematics, and can plan, investigate, and elaborate as they apply what they know to new mathematical situations.áTo equip students for higher-level mathematics learning, we have to be clear about where students are, where they need to go, and what it looks like when they get there.áVisible Learning for Mathábrings about powerful, precision teaching for K-12 through intentionally designed guided, collaborative, and independent learning.
