We need to rethink how we approach the teaching of mathematics. Per the Common Core Standards, mathematics instruction needs to incorporate adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency and productive disposition. This new approach has implications for English Learners and their mathematical success. This session will explore strategies and activities teachers can use to successfully navigate the transition to Common Core. Attend to discover how the CCSS will ensure that all students see mathematics as useful and worthwhile. Let's get excited about doing mathematics in a new way!
