Multiple Methods, Representations, and Models
To ensure students can demonstrate mastery of concepts and apply skills regardless of presentation, there is a use of varied problem types and multiple representations, as well as a push to reason toward solutions in a variety of ways.
Emphasis on Number Sense
Every number that emerges during a math class, in every lesson, is an opportunity to support the development of number sense.
Real and Meaningful Discourse
Frequent opportunities to communicate thinking and justify responses, often in a collaborative format, help students understand that math isn't a set of discrete skills used to answer simple questions, but a process of reasoning to solve complex problems.
Learning Builds on What Students Know
New math lessons clearly connect to prior lessons and demonstrate relevance to students’ lives to build relational understanding.
Cultivating Growth Mindset and Team
Math class fosters a community of learners committed to joyfully preserving through challenging problems independently and in collaboration with their teammates. Students believe they can be successful with mathematics.
