This magnificent book is a must for all mathematics teachers! Its practical value is derived from the fact that the authors are both seasoned and highquality mathematics teachers who have experienced and have explored every aspect of teaching they discuss in their book. It is comprehensive and challenges the reader to consider the pros and cons of the different strategies described, which go beyond a toolbox of great ideas for teaching!

The Math Teacher's Toolbox provides the reader with a summation of researchsupported current best practices in mathematics teaching. The layout of this book masterfully helps move the reader from understanding through application of the central ideas most essential to teaching mathematics effectively. Practical ideas for the classroom, as well as discussion about what could possibly go wrong, combine to make this a useful guide for teachers of all experience levels.

The Math Teacher's Toolbox provides concrete, innovative strategies for adapting often intangible pedagogical theories across a wide range of math content areas and grade levels. Larisa Bukalov and Bobson Wong draw extensively from current research as well as their own years of classroom experience to explore the benefits and possible limitations of each strategy. Having already sought to implement a number of their ideas into my own classroom, I cannot recommend this book enough.
