NCTM’s Process Standards support teaching that helps middle schoolers develop independent, effective mathematical thinking. The books in the Heinemann Math Process Standards Series give every middle grades teacher the opportunity to explore each standard in depth. With language and examples that don’t require prior math training to understand, the series offers friendly, reassuring advice and ready-to-use examples to any teacher ready to embrace the Process Standards.
Each book includes a CD-ROM with customizable activities and a correlation guide that helps you match mathematical content with process.
