"It's Time "is a practical resource book for primary school teachers who want to develop their mathematics program to involve students actively in their own learning through independently pursued investigations. This approach to math teaching, which has been variously termed Project Math, Conference Math, and Process Math, shares with whole language teaching the basic concepts about how children learn. The emphasis is on the active involvement of students in their own learning, building on students' experiences and interests, linking theory to practice, fostering communication and co-operative learning, and encouraging risk taking and learning from errors. "It's Time" provides answers to questions about

• the Project approach to mathematics
• planning and organization strategies
• examples of routines, such as conferencing and record keeping
• ideas for getting started
• enjoyable and meaningful activities suitable for all primary school levels (for the whole class, small groups, and individuals)
• assessment and evaluation suggestions
• self-assessment pro formas that enhance independent math projects.
