Establish Mathematics Goals to Focus on Learning

Embolden Your Inner Mathematician Elicit and use evidence of student thinking. Effective teaching of mathematics uses evidence of student thinking to assess progress toward mathematical understanding and to adjust instruction continually in ways that support and extend learning. Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All 

Embolden Your Inner Mathematician Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse. Effective teaching of mathematics facilitates discourse among students to build shared understanding of mathematical ideas by analyzing and comparing student approaches and arguments. Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All 

Embolden Your Inner Mathematician Use and connect mathematical representations. Effective teaching of mathematics engages students in making connections among mathematical representations to deepen understanding of mathematics concepts and procedures and as tools for problem solving.

Finding Equivalent Fractions Directions: Using the whole numbers 0 through 9 no more than once, create 3 equivalent fractions.

 Ambitious Teaching  In ambitious teaching, the teacher engages students in challenging tasks and collaborative inquiry, and then observes and listens as students work so that she or he can provide an appropriate level level of support support to diverse diverse learners. learners. The goal is to ensure that each and every student succeeds in doing meaningful, high-quality work, not simply executing  procedures with speed and accuracy. accuracy. (  (Smith, Smith, 4 pag.)
