I've been a math educator since 2003 and Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by @pgliljedahl has more potential to improve the way we teach mathematics than any other book I have ever read.
Here's why I think we must all read it:

Math teachers: Try giving small groups of students a single dry-erase marker, a nonpermanent vertical surface, and a rich math task, and watch the magic unfold. 💫
ALT "Most of my work as a math teacher isn’t even math. It’s helping students believe that they can also do math. We don’t talk about that enough." —José Vilson, Teacher
ALT "You can walk in 5 different classrooms and see 5 different teachers connecting with students in 5 different ways. Every teacher has their own talents and strengths, which make them amazing. They don’t need one size fits all professional development or evaluations to be amazing." —Brad Johnson, Educator
What do you do on a beautiful fall day….you combine two Math 1 classes and three teachers to take your functions station review outside! Thanks Ms. Williams, Mrs. Herr, and Mrs. Newland for helping build thinking classrooms! @SoLeeHS@leecoschoolsnc
