Incorporating the Eight Mathematical Practices


WHO WILL BENEFIT:
  • Grades 6-12 Educators
  • Instructional Coaches
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
  • Develop a working knowledge of the Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Experience Math Tasks through the lens of the Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Develop tools for incorporating the Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice into curriculum and pedagogy
DETAILS: How do we help students become “math thinkers?” This workshop will dive into ways for teachers to implement the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice, and participants will see student-centered examples of these practices in action. This two-day workshop will focus on the Eight Mathematical Practices that are embedded throughout math content from K-12. The eight Standards for Mathematical Practice are:

  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
  3.  Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
  4. Model with mathematics
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically
  6. Attend to precision
  7. Look for and make use of structure
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Participants will leave this workshop with an understanding of what the Standards for Mathematical Practice are, and how they can effectively incorporate them into their teaching.
