"Math teachers, math coaches, principals, and home schooling parents will appreciate this book for ideas for spiraling skills and keeping students engaged. The Power Tower was my favorite take-away. The specific station ideas will be extremely valuable for teachers." - Tracy Easterling, Instructional Technology Coach and K-6 Math/Science Specialist, Bristol Tennessee City Schools
"As a math coach, the teachers I work with are constantly asking for resources to use as a guide for guided math. I like how this book is broken into concept areas. I know that this will come in handy for teachers as well as for people in my position that are trying to find them resources." – Aubrey Carpenter, Instructional Math Coach, Danville District 118, IL
