Daily decisions about how to incorporate creativity, choice, and autonomy-integral components of engagement-can build students' self-efficacy, keep them motivated, and strengthen their identities as scientists and mathematicians. Acknowledging that many students-particularly girls and students of color-do not see themselves as mathematicians and scientists, the authors provide a series of suggested activities that are aligned with standards and high expectations to engage and motivate all learners. Given the current focus on encouraging students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies, this book is a welcome addition to every teacher's reference collection.--Publisher's description.
