"In this book, we have paired each task with instructional notes to support the field-tested implementation and facilitation that we found to maximize both student learning and joy in teaching mathematics. This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the background and important information about the meaning and value of rich algebra tasks, how the tasks in this book support and extend effective mathematics teaching practices, and important instructional guidance to add to your own teacher tool-box for implementing ...
