Changes in Instruction • Conceptual instruction based on the recommendations of the National Mathematics Panel and the Common Core Standards • Visual representations for interactive learning and pictorial representations to increase student connections • Stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels
Algebra integrated into regular lessons for practical applications • Conceptual understanding, computational fluency, problem solving skills • Teaching for understanding is crucial for computational fluency and long term retention • Apply mathematical skills to many situations • Allows for differentiation to meet the needs of all learners
Professional Development • Year long implementation training provided by Pearson, pilot teachers, and Math Specialists • Training for Support Staff in program • In-service through Math Committee meetings • Monthly meetings with K-2 teachers in Common Core and the continued change in instructional strategies necessary for Common Core
