Effective Math Instruction

With Effective Math Instruction, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the shift in standards in order to meet the rigor of next generation standards. This indispensable classroom resource outlines what is emphasized in these instructional shifts, including relationships among mathematical concepts, applications of knowledge in a real-world context, and so much more. Teachers can build meaningful lessons that will foster an effective learning environment so students can become mathematically fluent in the concepts they need to know. This resource allows teachers to build lessons around four knowledge domains, from factual knowledge (basic elements students must know to solve a problem), conceptual knowledge (interrelationships among basic elements within a larger structure), procedural knowledge (methods on how to do a problem), as well as Metacognitive Knowledge (awareness of strategic knowledge). This resource provides the tools needed to dive deeper to design practical math lessons that align with today's standards.
