OH YES! All great advice (I'm a math teacher also). Let me also suggest that you immediately get David R. Johnson's three books: Every Minute Counts; Making Minutes Count Even More; and Motivation Counts. The books clearly were written some years ago, but his advice is still relevant, as he speaks from experience.
The big thing that needs to happen these days is to teach the students how to learn and how to study!
With that in mind, let me recommend:
Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions
Method for getting students to engaged in their own education and owning their own learning - through questions on the material that THEY generate.
Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
Oh, I wish I had this book years ago. I've been harping on the research that formed this book (which was just published) ever since I read about the findings in a New York Times article in 2010. It basically says that most of what people believe about learning is wrong and ineffective (Ok, one exception: flashcards (and Quizlet) work). The book then details what you can do in your classroom and what you can teach students to do that will increase their learning effectiveness and retention of the material. This truly is THAT BOOK that I wish every teacher and administrator in the U.S. would read and implement. The nice thing shown in some of their studies is that you can introduce just one or two of these strategies and get improvements - a complete overhaul of our system is not required [although let me do my "Carthago delenda est" and say that I wouldn't shed a tear if NCLB were dismantled tomorrow!]. Inspiring, hopeful, and practical - read it as soon as you can.
By the way, I got the Kindle version and I echo one of the reviewers who said it's perfectly fine. I love a paper version more than the next person, believe me, but the price difference was enough for me to go Kindle, and I'm satisfied.
