The Standards for Mathematical Practice described in the California math standards require that students make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, craft viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, and choose appropriate tools for modeling and mathematizing situations. How do we ensure that we are helping our students meet these standards?
Join Cathy Fosnot for a two-day intensive experience to deepen your understanding of the early number sense, addition, and subtraction standards (grades K-3) and learn how to put the standards of mathematical practice into a powerful math classroom.
-
Learn how to use realistic contexts to support math development.
-
Construct a landscape of learning comprised of the big ideas, strategies, and models for early number sense, addition and subtraction.
-
Learn how to support efficient computation, sense-making, and problem solving.
-
Explore mini-lessons crafted with strings of related problems designed to support a repertoire of mental math strategies.
-
Help students feel like "real mathematicians" at work.
-
Explore the mathrack and learn how to use it to automatize the basic facts.
-
Analyze the use of various models as tools to support numeracy.
