All students face struggle, and they should―it is how they learn and grow. The teacher’s job is not to remove struggle, but rather to value and harness it, helping students develop good habits of productive struggle. But what’s missing for many educators is an action plan for how to achieve this, especially when it comes to math. This book guides teachers through six specific actions―including valuing, fostering, building, planning, supporting, and reflecting on struggle―to create a game plan for overcoming obstacles by sharing

·         Actionable steps, activities, and tools for implementation

·         Instructional tasks representative of each grade level

·         Real-world examples showcasing classroom photos and student work

8 reviews for Productive Math Struggle: A 6-Point Action Plan for Fostering Perseverance (Corwin Mathematics Series)

    Shawn Seeley

    This book did a great job of highlighting the importance of student struggle in mathematics, while also providing actionable steps for teachers, along with reflective questions. I would recommend this book for any teacher of mathematics, whether they be new to the profession, or quite experienced. This book would be a great book study for a PLC, math leadership group, whole building, or district.

    The book provides practical steps towards incorporating productive struggle in mathematics classes. Example of tasks and practices from all grade levels are included. For those who want to include more authentic assessment and thinking tasks in their math instruction, this book provides the research and encouragement to take the first steps. I highly recommend this book.

    This is the best PD book I’ve read, worth every penny. Not a tiny book like ASCD, this is a legit book and I have found all the information so useful!

    I used this book as part of a book club in my district. I’m eager to use these ideas in my classroom this year.

    I just finished this book. I love how it highlights the different approaches that some teachers take and the pros and cons of each. It really gets you thinking and planning for my next. Buy in and support is important. Building confidence and understanding through well planned lessons. This is a must read. Great for a book study.

    Math is so much more than procedures and rules. Math is conceptual and each of us has our own identity in math. This book illustrates how to allow your students to struggle in math, while still supporting them in learning, growing, and achieving math in new and creative ways. A great read for any math teacher who wants to see the kids do more of the “heavy lifting.”

    This book has inspired me to change up some of my instructional practices for all levels of students in my classroom. I have never been so excited to try some other items. I read this book alongside Thinking Classrooms. They are great partners.
