Math Instructional Practices
What is this?
Engaging in learning about the 8 Effective Teaching Practices for Mathematics ensures high-quality instruction that promotes deep mathematical understanding for all students. These practices, grounded in research, help create equitable and engaging learning environments where students develop critical thinking, problem-solving and reasoning skills. By adopting these strategies, schools can enhance teacher effectiveness, support diverse learners and improve student outcomes in mathematics.
Learning related to effective teaching practices may include, but is not limited to, mathematical discourse, problem-based instruction, mathematical representations, number sense and fluency.
