Chapter 4
  • Focus on lesson design and instructional decision making
  • Identifying the underlying big ideas so that DI is possible
  • Discussion of using backward design to start with a final “consolidating question” that is not just practice, but gets at the heart of the underlying mathematics; then working backward to choose open or parallel tasks to get toward that consolidating question
