WHAT WE LEARN
Developing the Behaviors of Mathematicians1. 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.
HOW WE LEARN
Shifts in Mathematics InstructionBuild skills and understanding across grade
levels
Learn more about less
Work with numbers easily
Understand and apply
Use math in the real world
HOW WE TEACH
An example…Procedural Conceptual
Find common denominators
Cross multiply(bow-tie,
butterfly, the x)
Compare to 1/2
Same number of pieces
Size of pieces
Concept + Procedure = Understanding Conceptual UnderstandingUsing the digits 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 make two three-digit numbers that when added together have a sum between 800 – 1000.
Procedural Knowledge
234 + 747

These ideas no longer have a place:
“ I was never that good at math either.”
“Our family just doesn’t have the math gene.”
