Professional development and support through collaboration
Rely on the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice to guide the development of goals for classroom instruction and program design — as well as individual student learning! These are the habits of mind all students should develop in mathematics!
I invite you to view the following linked files to explore my suggestions for new standards across grades 1-6 that I think would go a long way in helping students to develop deeper understanding…
Part/part/total as the basis for addition/subtraction in grades 1-3
Decomposition of whole numbers in various ways in grades 1-3
