Instruction

Empower your mathematics collaborative teams and students with this comprehensive guide. The authors provide preK–12 educators with tools and strategies for accelerating student learning of mathematics to grade level and beyond through intentional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction.

Transform mathematics instruction with Nathan D. Lang-Raad’s comprehensive mathematical competencies framework. Discover practical strategies to integrate seven essential competencies that develop true mathematical proficiency and enhance student engagement in K–12 classrooms.

Through questioning fostered by curiosity and active teacher support, students learn to construct mathematical arguments and justify their claims. This book also equips readers with tools and strategies to cultivate students’ mathematical curiosity, positive learning attitudes, and skill development.

Using a question-and-answer format as a guide through her book’s chapters, author Carrie S. Cutler equips readers with effective tools, strategies, and considerations for how to more clearly demonstrate mathematical concepts, ease student anxiety, and improve their own confidence as math instructors along the way.

In this session, we will explore how teams develop effective mathematics instruction using 6 elements of lesson design. The process of designing engaging, targeted, and high quality instruction allows teams to dig deeply into both best practices in mathematics and grow in content knowledge. Participants will leave with a set of tools and discussion protocols to enhance their instructional planning and teaching of mathematics.
