Problem solving in math is complex. When students struggle, it can be difficult to diagnose where the breakdown is happening. This book defines how reading comprehension, math computation, and self-efficacy impact students’ problem solving abilities and how you can support them in each area, with a particular focus on the use of small group instruction.

Chapters break down the process of problem solving into an easy-to-follow progression, with lessons provided throughout. There is a step-by-step guide to help you analyze students' work, with tips on managing flexible small groups. Learning targets help show when students have mastered each step of a problem or flag difficulties you can assist with along the way. The author includes tasks for each grade level with an example response plan as a guide, alongside meaningful research informing small moves that can make big gains.
