Math - Core Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom (Part 1): Foundations

How can you help all your students succeed in mathematics? Learn about how to integrate the content and practice standards in your instruction to support mathematical rigor and encourage all students to see themselves as math learners.
  • Learn about the key shifts in the mathematics standards to emphasize coherence, focus and rigor in math instruction.
  • Define what is meant by “rigor” in a mathematics classroom.
  • Explore the importance of a growth mindset.
  • Gain an understanding of the content and practice standards and how they interact across grade levels.

This course is Part 1 of a two-part series and is designed to establish foundational understanding before moving into Part 2, where participants will dive more deeply into strategies to utilize with learners. Upon completion of all Part 1 course requirements, participants will receive an enrollment key which will allow access to the second course-Core Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom (Part 2): Advanced-Facilitating Deep Mathematical Understanding.
