Excellent- More about Teaching Math With Examples
This book discusses the use of worked examples in teaching, including how to introduce them, what students should do when studying them, and how to help students move from understanding to using them to solve problems. It also addresses when and how to offer worked examples, and whether they are more useful for certain mathematical content than others.

While some teachers may argue that there's not much to say about teaching with examples, as they are widely used, there are actually several important questions to consider when incorporating worked examples into your teaching practice. Here are just a few:
How do we effectively introduce an example?
What tasks should students be engaged in when studying a solution?
Should a solution be presented all at once or gradually revealed?
After studying an example, what comes next?
Does it matter if the solution is presented from a fictional student, a real student in the class, or the teacher?
How can we help students transition from understanding someone else's ideas to applying them independently to solve problems?
How can we write a solution that is clear and accessible to students?
When is the appropriate time to offer a worked example?
When is it better to allow students to attempt a problem on their own?
Do worked examples have greater utility for certain mathematical content compared to others?
To address these questions, this book provides comprehensive insights and solutions. While research may offer answers in some cases, there are also gaps in the research literature that the book aims to fill through experience, trial-and-error, and the authors' own classroom problem-solving processes.
In the world of teaching with examples, there is a wealth of knowledge and strategies to explore, and this book is a valuable resource for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices. Whether you are a seasoned teacher or just starting your journey, this book will provide you with the tools and techniques you need to effectively incorporate worked examples into your lessons and help your students achieve success.
