Excellent!

Great research and well presented. I knew I wanted to do something different to teach the students to actually use their brains. This book lays out a great research-based method to do that effectively. I’m excited to give it a try.

Let’s Give It A Try

22 years of high school math instruction and much of this is new to me. Let’s see if I can improve thinking in my geometry classes. For the Greater Good!

Very useful book!

As an experienced educator I found this book an impressive consolidation of many areas of research. The authors have thought though so many issues and presented here a systematic path toward implementing practices that have long been understood to improve learning.
The narrator does a great job sounding as he were the author!

Insightful

This audio was a great companion to the physical book. It helped gain a greater picture of this effective way for students to learn.

Audible Version

I loved the ideas, but the Audible version provides no access code for the companion resources that are continually referred to in the book, which is highly disappointing and makes the audio version of limited value.
