Examples for each grade level are provided, along with details on how to pose questions, analyze errors, and help students understand and learn from their mistakes. The book provides specific guidance for when and how to offer feedback on both correct and incorrect answers in order to advance students' mathematical thinking. Like other Marian Small bestsellers,Math That Matterscombines her special brand of lucid explanation of difficult concepts with fresh and engaging activities.
