Daily Routines to Jump-Start Problem Solving, Grades K-8

I have been using resources from John J. SanGiovanni since 2018! His strategies have helped propel thinking and student engagement in my classroom as well as classrooms across my district. His activities and routines have increased students' enjoyment of mathematics concepts, which has led to higher scores across the district.--Milton Leathers John J. SanGiovanni has written yet another masterful book on routines focused on problem solving. My mentor once told me the way you get better at solving math problems is making sense and solving more math problems. Many students typically shy away from problem solving, yet in this book SanGiovanni has developed culturally relevant problems students can engage in to help build their problem solving skills. He has brilliantly put together a book of problem-solving routines to help all students be more successful. If we want equitable mathematics classrooms, ALL students must be engaged in daily problem solving and Daily Routines to Jump-Start Problem Solving is a resource to ensure that!--Georgina Rivera Problem solving has long been a challenge for students--until now! This book provides teachers with a bank of routines to engage students in thinking, reasoning, and sense making. Everything you need to teach students to be effective problem solvers is in your hands right now!--Marissa Walsh Teachers often say, My students can solve math equations, but not word problems. With SanGiovanni's Daily Routines to Jump-Start Problem Solving, teachers can ensure students develop the confidence to solve word problems without using hazardous tricks and gimmicks. Students will be encouraged to think about the mathematics behind the problem. The ideas in this book should be part of every mathematics class.--Lorie Huff
