Conceptual Understanding Procedural Skill & Fluency Application Preparation for Standardized Tests
• Teach more than “ how to get the answer ” and instead support students ’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives. • Students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures. • Conceptual understanding supports the other aspects of rigor (fluency and application).
• The Standards require speed and accuracy in calculation. • Teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to practice core functions so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts.
Solve real-world problems with a degree of difficulty appropriate to the grade/course. Apply knowledge and skills, extending to more complex problems, knowledge and skills articulated in previous grades/courses Engage in modeling practice through: ◦ making sense of problems & persevering to solve them ◦ reasoning abstractly and quantitatively ◦ using appropriate tools strategically ◦ looking for and making use of structure ◦ looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning
