Building a Math-Positive Culture: How to Support Great Math Teaching in Your School (ASCD Arias)
Description: For more than two decades NCTM, the National Research Council, and now the Common Core have called for students to learn mathematical processes, proficiency, and practices. What Mathematical Habits of Instruction can help all students develop these powerful Mathematical Habits of Mind--thinking, reasoning, sense-making and problem solving?
Description: Our educational system won’t be a success until and unless we embrace the notion that every single student deserves the opportunity to become a powerful mathematical thinker. Let’s think together about the strategies and actions it takes for that to happen and the role of leaders in initiating, nurturing, supporting, and sustaining changes that will last over time.
Description: Helping students develop mathematical habits of mind may be the most important thing we do. How can every student learn to build numerical, spatial, logical reasoning? Let’s help them expect math to make sense—even demand that it make sense—both what they learn and what they and others do. Let’s help them see that Math is Supposed to Make Sense!
Description: In effective classrooms today, teachers use engaging problems to help studentsdevelop mathematical thinking and learn mathematical skills. Sometimes we even say, ‘It’s not the answer that matters, it’s the process.’ But the answer does matter—we just need to find ways to slow down the race to answers and use the journey as a vehicle for learning.
Description: Having students struggle is one of teachers’ biggest challenges in implementing the mathematical thinking described in the Practices. Yet we know that engaging in constructive struggles is essential to learning. How can we help teachers get past their fear of students giving up and build student learning on working productively through struggling?
