Productive and Unproductive Beliefs about Math

A vast amount of research has been conducted over the past 25 years that has shed new light on the most effective ways to teach mathematics.

Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All is a book written by a task force of national math education leaders working through the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. In this text, the authors define the principles and actions that are essential to strengthen mathematics teaching and learning for all students.
