Kimberly Morrow-Leong, Mathematics Education Specialist, George Mason University

“As much of the country has been thrust into online learning with little preparation or professional development, Teaching Math at a Distance is just what our educators need. Dr. Theresa Wills’s wealth of experience and anecdotes provide an easy-to-read road map for distance learning. Even though I have been teaching for 18 years, I have discovered so many techniques in this book that I am excited to try within my new virtual classes.”

Melanie Dash, Mathematics Teacher, Hayfield Secondary School

“This book is a must-have! It provides wonderful ideas of how to teach math in a virtual setting and is practical and applicable to a wide range of grades. Many of the ideas can be utilized in face-to-face settings as well to help engage each and every student through the use of technology.”

Kevin Dykema, Eighth-Grade Mathematics Teacher, Mattawan Middle School

“As a mathematics educator doing distance learning, I am continually searching for the best practices and tools for teaching and learning in this setting . . . and there are always too many tabs open. It’s time to close the tabs and open Dr. Theresa Wills’s book. Full of practical strategies and written with a ‘can-do’ attitude about engaging students remotely in rich mathematics instruction, this is a must-read for any math teacher who seeks to promote student agency, to make thinking visible, and to continue to reach all learners even at a distance.”

Beth Terry, Mathematics Coach, Riffa Views International School

“What a remarkable resource! It provides guidance on everything from how to be more effective and efficient at setting norms and managing the logistics of using microphones and video, to much more complex concerns around student access, agency, and equity! It’s beautiful to see through Theresa Wills’s work that all of the characteristics of quality math instruction can live in the virtual math classroom.”

Jennifer Lempp, Author of Math Workshop: Five Steps to Implementing Guided Math, Learning Stations, Reflection, and More
