5.0 out of 5 stars Children's mathematics; Cognitive Guided Instruction, October 10, 2007
By Norma L. Morris (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent resource for those wishing to guide students from informal understanding of solving word problems to problem solving. The authors' examples of the various problem types coupled with explanations and strategically placed video clips (CD included) guide even the most novice CGI instructor to a clear understanding of the problems and expected student strategies, classroom environment and expectations needed to implement this teaching strategy.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tool, June 13, 2008
This book revolutionized the way that I taught math in my classroom. I was a more informed instructor, and it allowed me to group, scaffold, and individualize my instruction. The year that I implemented these techniques into my fifth grade class, we made an average of two years growth in one year! Highly recommend this one!
