Strategies for Teaching Mathematics

Catalog description

This course is based on best practices in level two and level three research for delivering mathematics instruction. Value is placed on thinking, reasoning, and communicating mathematically and making connections among mathematical ideas and real-world situations. All course content is connected to teacher moves based on the Ten Principles of Thinking Mathematics and student habits of mind based on the Eight Mathematical Practices. Participants observe, reflect, write and implement lessons based on course content through related lab experiences. Participants use protocols for looking at student work. This course provides an opportunity to deepen mathematical understandings and align instructional practice to Common Core Standards and Mathematical Language Routines.
