Common core standards for mathematical practice::

Common core standards for mathematical practice: Make sense in problems and persevere in solving them Reason abstractly and quantitatively Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for and make use of structure Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Common core standards for mathematical practice::

Common core standards for mathematical practice: Mistakes become learning opportunities in Ben Mook's 7th grade algebra class. He assesses his students by challenging them to solve real-life problems, emphasizing their thought processes over getting the right answers. http://www.edutopia.org/stw-assessment-authentic-relevant-lessons-video

“Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is an approach to teaching mathematics that builds on children’s natural problem-solving strategies. Based on over 20 years of research, CGI identifies specific strategies students use to help teachers understand how students think so that they can guide them toward mathematical understanding.” -Susan Empson University of Texas, Austin

Slide 16:

“A focus on reasoning and sense making, when developed in the context of important content, will ensure that students can accurately carry out mathematical procedures, understand why those procedures work, and know how they might be used and their results interpreted. This understanding will expand students’ abilities to apply mathematical perspectives, concepts, and tools flexibly.” - NCTM

Common Core Kick-Off August 16 and 17th :

Common Core Kick-Off August 16 and 17 th Dr. Douglas Reeves Dr. Willard Daggett President of the International Center for Leadership in Education, is recognized worldwide for his proven ability to move education systems towards more rigorous and relevant skills and knowledge for all students. To Register: http://ocde.k12oms.org/1245-46877 “Reeves doesn’t just tell us what not to do.  His research is so carefully documented and so clearly argued that we see precisely what should be our focus. . .Reeves takes us further and deeper into the critical territory of whole system reform.  He does it with such elegance and relentless insistence that we are drawn – indeed, compelled – to want to take action.” - Michael Fullan
