<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><strong><em>See a gap in understanding? Mine it to move your students forward.<br/> </em></strong><br/> How good are you at exploiting students' mathematical mistakes? In this remarkable book, the authors remind us that student mistakes are not random, and when we take the time to mine the gap, we can dispel misunderstandings before they take root. Included are 180 downloadable high-quality tasks, aligned to the standards and big ideas of grades 6-8 mathematics. Each task includes sample student work, commentary on strengths and gaps, and next instructional steps. Whether you use this bank of tasks for instruction or assessment, you will love how it helps you easily identify students' thinking and then follow up with instruction that brings clear, complete understanding.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong><em>See a gap in understanding?

Every teacher of mathematics needs this amazing resource to learn to mine the gaps for each of their students!--Becky M. Walker<br><br>Mine the Gap is a great tool for teachers to use to grow their own understanding of student misconceptions and incomplete understandings and how to address them. This is an indispensable resource for all involved in supporting students' growth in mathematics.--Nathan Rosin<br><br>More than just a nice collection of problems, this book shares a road map for teachers looking to enhance the quality of the math tasks they use with students. Teachers will appreciate the examples of actual student work paired with tips for analysis and instruction.--Delise Andrews<br><br>This book helps navigate how to use student work to drive instruction with rich engaging tasks, which will help all students become better mathematicians. The authors have done an excellent job of helping teachers to carefully look at student work to identify how students solved math problems, using this evidence to identify those students who understand the targeted skill, along with the misconceptions or misunderstandings of other students, with suggestions of how to move all students forward in their thinking.--Cynthia Baumann<br><br>This work does what other books only attempt to do. It combines instruction, assessment, and practice with open-ended and rich tasks that allow for teachers to not only immediately implement the ideas but also understand the content and pedagogy behind them. The tasks, which are immediately implementable and customizable, engage each and every learner. They are based on cutting-edge and research-based instructional frameworks and provide countless learning opportunities for students.--Zachary Champagne<br><br>Wow! This book is a treasure trove for middle school teachers and those who support middle level mathematics education. The tasks presented are top notch, the student work is illustrative of classrooms, and the suggestions for how to respond are incredible! Each of these three would make a great resource--to have them all blended together is outstanding.--Kevin Dykema<br>
