Guided by the views of the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, NCTM has created a new three-book series designed to help teachers support high-quality mathematics learning for diverse student populations in the classroom. The articles in the Grades 9-12 book demonstrate how connecting real-life activities with mathematical concepts and building on students' knowledge and experiences, can help them excel in the classroom. Strategies that can immediately be implemented to help students form better connections with the content they are studying are also described.

This clinical manual presents approximately 200 commonly encountered medical-surgical disorders and procedures in a concise, alphabetical format for quick clinical reference. The two-colour design highlights key information, and helpful cross-references to the Lewis text direct students to more extensive background information. The 3rd edition features expanded patient and family teaching content as well as additional illustrations and tables to enhance functionality and visual appeal.
