For teachers in states that have adopted Common Core State Standards, there is still much confusion about how these learning objectives differ from previous versions. More importantly, school districts across the country are faced with the problem of implementing Standards of Mathematical Practice into classroom instruction. This workshop examines the integration of practice standards through video footage and student work. Participants analyze student misconceptions and how these influence instructional decisions. Participants also discuss the effects of essential questions, small and whole group instruction, and high order reasoning on mathematics achievement. Strategies for integrating practice standards in K-12 classrooms are presented along with information about further professional learning opportunities for teachers.
