Universal Design for Learning in Mathematics Instruction, K-5

"It is past time we face the fact that too many of our students miss out on the joy and satisfaction of learning authentic mathematics. In Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction, K-5, Novak and Marlow describe mathematics instruction, teacher and student mindsets, and classroom culture that can foster success for all students. I believe the strength of this work are the clear and practical examples of UDL based instructional practices in the context of important grade level mathematical topics such as early numeracy, additive and multiplicative reasoning, and fractions. Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction, K-5 should be required reading for all K-5 math teachers and instructional leaders." - Robert Laird, co-author of A Focus on Fractions: Bringing Mathematics Education Research to the Classroom and more

"This book is an essential guide for educators committed to making math accessible to all students. Novak and Marlow expertly blend UDL principles with math teaching strategies to create inclusive, engaging environments that support diverse learners. This book empowers teachers to build confident, capable mathematicians and ensure every student feels valued and included in their math journey." - Lateefah Id-Deen, PhD, Associate Professor, Mathematics Education, Department of Elementary & Early Childhood Education, Kennesaw State University

"Novak and Marlow have just delivered a game-changing resource for math teachers who are committed to helping ALL students build a better relationship with math. This is more than just a guide; it's a call to action for transforming the way we teach and empower the next generation of learners." - Vanessa Vakharia, Author of Math Therapy: 5 Steps to Help Your Students Overcome Math Trauma and Build a Better Relationship With Math

"If you are new to teaching mathematics or have been teaching for 40 years, you will love this book as every page gives you a perspective of how to create thinkers, not mimickers, of mathematics." - Karen Gartland, PreK-8 Mathematics Supervisor, Groton-Dunstable (MA) School District
