This book is a must for any educator who wishes to develop problem solving strategies in their learners. I would even recommend it for a book study group, especially since it comes with a DVD--that really helps to gain an understanding in how students think about problems, as well as inadvertently demonstrating some great class management techniques. It outlines a lot of strategies that you can teach the kids in mini-lessons, and is very doable to add into your routine. I highly recommend it!!
My only wish was that the DVD contained some classroom examples of 1st graders.

This book was read by all of our elementary summer school math teachers this summer. They loved the book and used the number talks in their classrooms. Each of them felt that using the number talks increased the students' math abilities more than we have ever seen students' math abilities grow over the past summer we have held summer school. Each of them said that this was going to impact their teaching this coming school year as well. I will be using this book to help the school I am working with this year to help them increase their students math scores on our state assessment.
