Three Components of High Quality Math Instruction
“Teaching for conceptual understanding, developing children’s procedural fluency, and
promoting strategic competence through meaningful problem-solving investigations.”

Recommendation:Increased Rigor in Daily Instruction
• Consider the level of cognitive demand that instructional activities require
• Consider the engagement level of the activity• Reflect on the kinds of questions that you are
asking students• Let students struggle with the mathematics

Effective Questioning When Kids Struggle
• Ask students what they know• Ask about their approach to solve• Ask them where they ran into trouble• Ask them why• Restate what they’ve said• Ask them to reflect on possible other routes

Effective Questioning and Discourse • Ask students to justify and explain their thinking• Have students share their problem solving
approaches with others• Ask them to explain others’ approaches in their
own words• Ask them to evaluate others’ approaches (error
analysis)• Ask them “what if” questions

Why use these structures?
Key word strategies don’t work.• No development of meaning-making• No building of structures for more advanced learning
(decimals, fractions, algebra)• Many problems do not have key words• Students use key words inappropriately• Multi-step problems are impossible to solve with key
words.

RecommendationIntervention materials should include opportunities for students to work with visual representations of mathematical ideas and interventionists should be proficient in the use of visual representations of mathematical ideas.
