This book provides both a general overview of effective teaching strategies and specific examples of those strategies. Issues such as teaching through inquiry, developing mathematical literacy, and working with language learners are included. Because technology has changed mathematics teaching with regard to what is taught and how it is taught, appropriate use of technology is woven throughout the book.

The primary aim of this book is to provide teachers of mathematics with all the tools they would need to conduct most effective mathematics instruction. The book guides teachers through the all-important planning process, which includes short and long-term planning as well as constructing most effective lessons, with an emphasis on motivation, classroom management, emphasizing problem-solving techniques, assessment, enriching instruction for students at all levels, and introducing relevant extracurricular mathematics activities. Technology applications are woven throughout the text. A unique feature of this book is the second half, which provides 125 highly motivating enrichment units for all levels of secondary school mathematics. Many years of proven success makes this book essential for both pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers.
