Not a question per se, but I wanted to share a book I’m reading this year that I think is a struggle for all teachers in the area of mathematics instruction. “Underestimated and over- scaffolded” is what stood out to me and mostly because I know that I am guilty of both as a teacher. Has anyone read this book?

Wow - that looks like such a great resource! Thank you so much for sharing!

Have you ever read any of the books/texts or visited the site from YouCubed? https://www.youcubed.org/

I used this site with my 3rd graders several years ago.. it is a totally unique approach and I, an ELA major, enjoyed teaching math!
