About this site.
This site was designed for elementary teachers. like myself, who are working to create students with great mathematical understanding. As districts and states are shifting from more procedural based mathematical standards to conceptual common core mathematical standards teachers are working to incorporate the eight Mathematical Practices into their lesson plans.
The Importance of Mathematical Practices
• Standards for Mathematical practice --processes and proficiencies
• Habits of mind of the mathematically proficient student
• Description of modeling; applying mathematics outside the math classroom
• Using mathematics tools in flexible, sophisticated, and relevant ways across disciplines
• Technology, structure, and generalization
