This is the latest book I've been reading as I continue to look for ways to help teachers incorporate the
Standards for Mathematical Practice (from the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics) into their instruction. The 3rd math practice standard expects students to be able to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, and the activities in this book will help promote that standard.
In short, the 5 practices are:
1 | anticipating
2 | monitoring
3 | selecting
4 | sequencing
5 | connecting
The reality is that teachers need a lot of time to be thoughtful and intentional in their lesson planning. And they need a lot of time to be able to discuss their ideas and to discuss their successes and failures with other teachers.
So, how do we make the time?
