Recenzii
“Throughout the text, there is a wealth of documentation of classroom instruction with data and proven impact on student learning. … Throughout the text, real-life applications are used. … I highly recommend this book to gain an international perspective on how Singapore teaches their students to pass along these practices to your classes.” (Peter Olszewski, MAA Reviews, October 3, 2021)
