Reviews for Strategic Journeys for Building Logical Reasoning, 6-8: Activities Across the Content Areas

Coauthor Leslie Texas has worked with our teachers through professional development and coaching to implement many of the strategies in this book. As a result, I've seen a transformation of classroom practice and an increase in student engagement throughout our district's math classrooms. I highly recommend this book. --Angela Harris, Jefferson County Public School Secondary Math Specialist, Louisville, KY
