Teaching numeracy : 9 critical habits to ignite mathematical thinking / Margie Pearse, K.M. Walton ; foreword by Arthur Hyde.
This book outlines nine critical thinking habits that foster numeracy, the ability to think through math logically, solve problems, and apply math outside the classroom. It details practical ways of monitoring and repairing students' understanding, representing mathematics nonlinguistically, developing students' mathematics vocabulary, and creating numeracy-rich lesson plans.
