How do you move students from one level to the next in math? In this new book from popular consultant and bestselling author Nicki Newton, you’ll discover how math running records are an excellent tool for checking where students are and then determining how to help them improve. The book breaks down how to use the records to observe students, how to use the resulting data to modify instruction, and how to communicate the results with parents.
