This book would be best used in undergraduate or master’s level teacher education courses that specifically address learning mathematics. . . .The descriptions of what teachers can do are useful and straightforward, and they discuss various ways for students to understand the concept of an algorithm. The research notes are useful summaries of research that has been conducted concerning each misconception; this research can be used as a platform for further investigation.

Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School

What a great idea for a book! What I really mean is, what a great idea for reaching teachers and helping them understand and teach mathematics better!...Being able to focus on one misconception at a time will allow teachers to think about and understand concepts more than they usually do.
