Synopsis

A schoolwide solution for mathematics success!

When "rules" seem to change from year to year, mathematics can seem like a disconnected mystery for students. Clear up the confusion with a Mathematics Whole-School Agreement! Expanded from the highly popular "Rules that Expire" series of NCTM articles, this essential guide leads educators through the collaborative step-by-step process of establishing a coherent and consistent learner-centered and equitable approach to mathematics instruction. You'll learn to avoid "rules that expire"--tricks that may seem to help students in one grade but hurt in the long run. Features include

- Abundant grade-specific examples

- Effective working plans for sustainability

- Barrier-busting tips, to-dos, and try-it-outs

- PLC prompts and discussion points
