Visible Thinking in the K–8 Mathematics Classroom

I was really excited to get this book. I am a big believer in making math visible whether through manipulatives, drawings, descriptions, ... Thought this book would give me many more ideas for making math visible. I ended up being disappointed. The book said things that should and should not be happening in math classrooms but gave few ways to actually make this happen...that is specific strategies for teaching with elementary students. The most valuable part were the assessment examples showing lower level and higher level questions for the same concept. Sure wish there had been more I could take back to my staff to help improve their instruction.
