“This book brings together the best of Visible Learning and the
teaching of mathematics. The chapters on learning intentions, success criteria,
misconceptions, formative evaluation, and knowing thy impact are stunning. Rich
in exemplars, grounded in research about practice, and with the right balance
about the surface and deep learning in math, it's a great go-to book for all
who teach mathematics.”
