I have been a math teacher for over 20 years. I constantly purchase resource materials and continue to read and observe and learn to better my craft. Many states are moving to the Common Core Math Standards, so I've been researching books that look at math THINKING rather than just math processes. This book is absolutely terrific! I even came back and bought 3 more copies to use as door prizes at the next math workshop that I will be facilitating. No only does this book explain WHY we should use open-ended math activities but it offers MANY MANY specific examples that could be used in a wide range of ways: warm-up, THE activity, exploratory segment prior to a formal lesson, application after a formal lesson has been given, or intertwined within your total curriculum. I eagerly give this resource 5 stars. Thanks Nancy Canavan Anderson and Lainie Schuster for creating such a terrific resource. [This one was modeled after another book by the same title designed for lower grades by different authors, but I have not yet seen that one.]

Using the questions in this book really helps kids understand math concept. The kids are able to make up their own questions and resolve them after I teach them some examples. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who teach math at home or in school.

Awesome book for teachers who are looking for ways to teach students using problems. It helps teachers with the problems that are often difficult to come up with. This sure beats the the old textbook.

Not very interesting and the layout was terrible
The book started out great with some good sample questions. However, I would have liked to see more examples pertaining to specific lessons in a lesson format. Read more
