Classroom vignettes describe lessons in vivid detail, and samples of actual student work are included throughout. Most lessons implement the use of manipulative materials to help children think about and reflect on mathematical ideas.

This was a very helpful book if you're looking for some hands on activities. It explains the activities very clearly and objectives are also clearly stated. I would recommend this book to all math teachers and interventionists.
