"Each grade level's materials will be structured as a single volume for teachers. Each volume will include a collection of mathematical tasks focused on the big mathematical ideas in the grade level that create space for students to engage in (1) visual mathematics, (2) play, and (3) investigation. For each big idea the text will unpack for teachers the big ideas and how to look for student thinking around these ideas to make instructional decisions. It will address the questions: What is the big idea and why is it important? How do students learn this big idea? What should I look for in student thinking and strategies? Further, each activity or task will be accompanied by ideas for how to launch and how to facilitate discussion after the activity. Activities in the three areas -- visual math, play, and investigation -- will be provided as reproducibles"-- Provided by publisher

In this volume, the authors show what the big ideas are at this grade level, why they are important to know, and how students can best learn those big ideas. -- Back cover

"This series targets the mathematical practices directly and will help teachers engage students in things like problem solving, reasoning and persisting through long problems, all important goals of the Common Core Standards as they help prepare students for using math in real life. The materials will be equally important to teachers who do not use the Common Core as there is widespread awareness that students need to engage more actively and learn how to problem solve and reason. In their work with tens of thousands of teachers across the US, teachers have told the authors they would like to focus on the "big ideas" in math, but they do not know which they are. This series will focus upon the core conceptual ideas at each grade level, such as those of multiplication, place value or fractions, which will enhance students' achievement across the curriculum"-- Provided by publisher
