This book is one of the only textbooks I frequently refer back to. I have used the book more since finishing the class than I did while in the class. It is a good reference when you have a student that isn't understanding and you need to use another approach. It is very good at addressing the various learning styles. There is also a large emphasis on using manipulatives in the classroom - I strongly agree with this.
