Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12: What Works Best to Optimize Student Learning (Corwin Mathematics Series) 1st Edition

I purchased this for a class, but it ended up being the best reading I've done in awhile about math instruction. I just finished a course previous to this one and had to read 4 books about math instruction for this class, so that's saying something. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking to sharpen your practice or for a good pick for a book study you'd like to encourage at your school. Practical examples of how to add a little spark to your teaching abound!

This book, and the videos available on the internet, provide the best aggregation of educational research on "what works" that I have ever seen. The information is up to date, including the work of Carol Dweck and Jo Boaler on developing growth mindsets in students. The book covers all grades, with vignettes from Kindergarten to twelfth grade teachers. A MUST READ for any math teacher or administrator!

Helpful for teachers to have a reference to evaluate their teaching of math against as it is very detailed and has structure.

I used this book as a summer book study with the 5th and 6th grade teachers I work with. We all found it very beneficial and enlightening. Often times I skim through instruction books. I found I had to throughly read every page and I enjoyed it. The content coincides with NCTM and all recent initiatives we are trying to put together as a school.

A lot of pages to say very little, but a worthwhile skim.

This is an excellent book for educators. I have been very interested in Hattie's work, but his books have been challenging to read. This one is readable! We are using it with our entire staff to push our math instruction to the next level.

I love the book, but I’m a math teacher. It reads more like a textbook than an easy read.

My principal introduced me to John Hattie's work. This book details which strategies have been proven through research to be most effective in increasing student achievement in the mathematics classroom. Very useful information to have.
