How Do The Standards for Mathematical Practice Impact Our Instruction?

math-instruction-top

At this year’s National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) conference, Heinemann authors Sue O’Connell, Steve Leinwand, Cathy Fosnot, Max Ray-Riek, and June Mark held a special event with mathematics specialists and leaders to discuss the goal of math education today, the importance of the Standards for Mathematical Practice, and the kinds of effective instructional shifts teachers can make in their classrooms.

In the second clip from this event, Cathy Fosnot, Steve Leinwand, June Mark, and Max Ray-Riek discuss how the Standards for Mathematical Practice can impact instruction. Some key points include:

  • how a strong understanding of the Standards for Mathematical Practice will enhance instruction
  • if certain Practices are more important than others and how they can complement each other
  • the way deep mathematical thinking is encouraged by these standards.
