"What a wonderfully affirming and informative addition the library of every teacher of secondary mathematics! There Is No One Way to Teach Math attends to all the right topics as it practically illuminates the importance of discussion, collaboration, variety, tools, and bridging the unhelpful either-ors with common-sense balance."
Steve Leinwand, American Institutes for Research, USA
"There Is No One Way to Teach Math is humane, validating, and wise. It reads like a conversation with the master teacher down the hall: grounded, realistic, and refreshingly honest. I look forward to assigning this nutrient-rich book as required reading in my course for in-service and pre-service teachers."
