Conceptual Understanding and Problem Solving… MDC focuses on building student understanding of mathematics concepts by working through problems, rather than memorizing formulas and plugging them into a page of workbook problems.

MDC is About…. Students and teachers Using evidence of learning To adapt teaching and learning To meet immediate learning needs Minute ‐ to ‐ minute and day-by-day (Thompson & Wiliam, 2007)
