Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great resource for teaching the underlying logic of math
Review: This book is an excellent resource for any math teacher. Rather than focusing on the simple rules and procedures of mathematics, this book brings to light the underlying principles of why many mathematical procedures exist in the first place. I personally use this book when I want to kick my teaching up a notch and really delve into higher order thinking. I have successfully used insights from this book to get my kids to discover why much of math works the way it does. It is great.

One small caveat: this book is not particularly well organized in ready-to-use lesson plan format. Most of the ideas in this book need to be worked with to devlop full-blown lessons. But the ideas are good enough that this is not too hard to do.
