This issue focuses on using research findings to make a difference for PreK-16 students' learning by improving instructional practices in classrooms. It helps bridge research and practice and includes research-based strategies for equitable and high-level instructional and assessment practices in mathematics classrooms.

Employing Mathematical Modeling to Engage Students at All Levels Mathematical modeling plays an increasingly important role both in real-life applications-in engineering, business, the social sciences, climate study, advanced design, and more-and within mathematics education itself. This 2016 volume of Annual Perspectives in Mathematics Education (APME) focuses on this key topic from a wide variety of perspectives and distinguishes it from modeling mathematics. The book's 25 chapters are grouped into seven sections:* Understanding Models and Modeling* Using Models to Represent Mathematics*...
