Highlighting Ideas from Open Middle Math: Problems That Unlock Student Thinking, Grade 6-12 by Robert Kaplinsky

In this four-part blog series, Tonya Perry, Steven Zemelman, and Katy Smith, the authors of Teaching for Racial Equity, introduce us to their Action Guides, short one-page companions to their book that help educators move from the words they read on the page to taking action.

We are proud to support Stenhouse authors presenting at the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics Annual Conference, September 26-28, 2022 and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Meeting, September 28-October 1, 2022. 

We hope you’ll visit our booth and attend Stenhouse author sessions!
