"So much of what is important in classrooms happens inside interactions between teachers and students. This book is all about those moments, and because of this it is a rare treasure."
—Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education at Stanford University, co-founder of youcubed.org, and author of Mathematical Mindsets
"Jen Munson’s In the Moment is a brilliant book about conferring with student mathematicians—and a brilliant book about conferring in general, too!"
—Carl Anderson, author of A Teacher’s Guide to Writing Conferences and How’s It Going?
"In the Moment celebrates the power of listening to our students talk about mathematics. If you are looking for tips to get started with conferring in math or guidance to refine and expand your skills, look no further than this book."
—Susan O’Connell, lead author of Math in Practice and Director of Quality Teacher Development
"Throughout In the Moment: Conferring in the Elementary Math Classroom, Jen Munson invites us to explore an underappreciated, yet critical part of classroom instruction in which teachers and students learn together in the moment. She celebrates students' mathematical thinking and puts forth the insightful idea that a stance of curiosity is the key for teachers to be able to access and grow students' thinking."
—Vicki Jacobs, Yopp Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education, UNC Greensboro
