Opis

Dan Johnson calls Math and the Middle School Dance his "so what" book. After publishing numerous books and articles on temperament, critical thinking, mathematics, and educational change; Dr. Johnson asks educators in grades 5-9 to join him in answering the question, "So what do those Common Core standards look like in the classroom?" In Math and the Middle School Dance Dr. Johnson describes how students think, how they can improve their thinking, and how they can develop entrepreneurial thinking skills for the 21st Century global marketplace. He explains how teachers and principals can use digital technology to transform instruction from a logical-sequential march into a dance in the spaces between the notes. He describes this shift in how we think about teaching and learning as a necessary first step toward transforming schools into centers of entrepreneurial thinking.
