Acknowledgments
On behalf of our team of authors, Sarah Schuhl and I wish to thank all of the teachers who inspired us to write this grade-level book and mathematics unit planning series. It is through our work with you in the day- to-day reality of your classroom life that we continue to learn and grow. In addition, Jenn Deinhart deserves special kudos for her leadership of our team of authors.
We also wish to thank Solution Tree for believing in and supporting our Every Student Can Learn Mathematics work. Special kudos to Douglas Rife, our publisher extraordinaire, and our lead editor, Suzanne Kraszewski, who knows our work as well as we do!
Our thanks to you, too—the reader—a teacher, leader, and professional, for doing the deep work of learning together to ensure every student experiences well-planned units of mathematics study, every year.
And finally, my deep thanks to Sarah Schuhl, whose vision for this project, and her stewardship of this book, brought home the reality of our ideas with a sense of urgency and grace.
