The following 81-page book is available free in both PDF and Microsoft Word formats:

Moursund, David (March, 2012). Good math lesson planning and implementation. Eugene, OR: Information Age Education. Download the PDF file from http://i-a-e.org/downloads/doc_download/230-good-math-lesson-plans.html and the Microsoft Word file from http://i-a-e.org/downloads/doc_download/229-good-math-lesson-plans.html.

The book draws heavily on the IAE-pedia document Good Math Lesson Plans available at http://iae-pedia.org/Good_Math_Lesson_Plans. That page is by far the most popular of the content pages in the IAE-pedia. It had had over 73,500 visits as of 3/26/2012, the date when the book first became available.

I believe all educators should be familiar with the Science of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). In recent years this field has been renamed the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

Students preparing to become precollege teachers get a healthy dose of SoTL in their various education courses. However, many college and university teachers have had very little formal education in SoTL.

The following article reports on a daylong conference on SoTL in higher education held at Harvard University.

Recently I received an email message that said:

The previous IAE Blog entry discussed a ninth grade Computer Science course that is being required by all students in a particular school district. The course includes an emphasis on problem solving. However, we all know that problem solving is an important component of every academic course and that computers are an important aid to problem solving in every such discipline.
