Math
Practices and the Common Core
As states and districts work to implement the Common Core
State Standards in math, a key challenge is helping students
not only acquire content knowledge but also become proficient
in the set of eight mathematical practices laid out in the
document. The practices represent different types of expertise
students should develop in using math, from making sense of
problems to reasoning abstractly and constructing viable
arguments.
This Education Week webinar—featuring a lead
writer of the common core for math and a district math
supervisor—will examine what the standards for mathematical
practice mean, where they came from, and how they can be
effectively embedded in the classroom. How will the practices
change instruction? What kind of support do teachers need to
bring them to life? What resources are available to help
educators? Those and other questions will be explored in this
webinar, which will provide both a greater understanding of
the practices and practical, hands-on advice.
Guests:
Jason
Zimba, co-founder, Student Achievement Partners and a
lead writer of the common standards in mathematics
Marlene Lovanio, math supervisor,
Bristol school district, Conn.
This
webinar will be moderated by Erik Robelen, assistant editor
