3. Standards for Mathematical Practices
“The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education” (CCSS, 2010).
Carry across all grade levels
Describe habits of a mathematically expert student
The Common Core proposes a set of Mathematical Practices that all teachers should develop in their students. These practices are similar to the mathematical processes that NCTM addresses in the Process Standards in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.
These can implemented between now and time content goes into effect.

4. Standards for Mathematical Practices
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Model with mathematics
Use appropriate tools strategically
Attend to precision
Look for and make use of structure
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Carry across all grade levels

5. Exploring the Standards for Mathematical Practice
Number 1-8.
Move to your group.
Read the assigned Standard for Mathematical Practice.
Try to explain each practice in your own words.
Each group should create a poster about the practice.

6. Standards for Mathematical Practice
Key words or phrases
Picture
Examples

7. Standards for Mathematical Practices
First three words of each practice: Mathematically proficient students . . .

8. Mathematical Practices
List the actions of a mathematically proficient student
Brainstorm:
Ways teachers can facilitate the outcomes of mathematically proficient students
Reflect:
What are my actions as a teacher to help ensure students become mathematically proficient?
Add ideas to poster
Mathematically Proficient Students. . .

9. Standards for Mathematical Practices
Gallery Walk
Dot Activity
I do this now
I haven’t thought about this
Need more guidance on this
What are the implications of these mathematical practices?

10. NC Teacher Evaluation Process
Standard I: Teachers Demonstrate Leadership
Standard II: Teachers Establish a Respectful Environment for a Diverse Population of Students
Standard III: Teachers Know the Content They Teach
Standard IV: Teachers Facilitate Learning for Their Students
Standard V: Teachers Reflect on Their Practice

11. Standards for Mathematical Practices
Standard IV: Teachers Facilitate Learning for Their Students
Teacher know the ways in which learning takes place, and they know the appropriate levels of intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of their students.
Teacher plan instruction appropriate for their students
Teachers use a variety of instructional methods
Teacher integrate and utilize technology in their instruction.
Teachers help student develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Teachers help students work in teams and develop leadership qualities.
Teachers communicate effectively.
Teachers use a variety of methods to assess what each student has learned.
