Final edits were submitted for Matthew's book Teach Math Like This, Not Like That: Four Critical Areas to Improve Student Learning. For each of the ideas presented, two different perspectives will be detailed. The first is Not like This which is often the traditional way of teaching mathematics or the less effective approach. The second perspective is Teach Like This which is Matthew's recommended approach based upon research & experience.
