The Essential Understanding Series addresses topics that are critical to student development but are often difficult to teach. Each book in the series (16 titles planned) gives an overview of the topic, highlights the differences between what teachers and students need to know, examines the big ideas and related essential understandings, reconsiders the ideas presented in light of connections with other mathematical ideas, and includes questions for readers’ reflection.
