3:30 pm–5:30 pm Large Group |
NATIONAL INSTITUTE Introduction to Math Solutions and the Common Core Mathematical Practices Welcome Reception |
| Wednesday, July 25 8:30 am–3:00 pm Grade Level Groups K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 |
Making Sense of Math: A Focus on Reasoning and Discourse Students need math to make sense. We explore the "why and how" along with the role of discourse to deepen understanding. We also share strategies to engage students, and scaffolding to support differentiated learning. |
| Thursday, July 26 8:30 am–3:00 pm Grade Level Groups K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 |
Mathematical Thinking: A Focus on Representation and Procedural Fluency Students achieve procedural fluency and expand mathematical thinking when they are able to represent their ideas visually, symbolically, and verbally. In this course we explore ways to support various forms of mathematical representation and related ideas. |
| Friday, July 27 8:30 am–3:00 pm Grade Level Groups K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 |
Problem Solving: Developing Disposition, Competence, and Confidence Students are successful at problem solving when they understand what is being asked, are able to untangle complex situations and relationships, and can apply mathematical thinking to everyday problems. We take a deeper look at building perseverance and structuring problem solving to develop competence, confidence and accessibility for all students. |

Learning Outcomes
At Math Solutions, we've been transforming instruction for almost 30 years.
Now the same strategies and methods we use for developing student proficiency are embodied in
the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
| CCSS—Standards for Mathematical Practice | Learning Outcomes with Math Solutions |
| Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them | Students understand what they are being asked and consider multiple strategies and tools to analyze and solve problems. |
| Reason abstractly and quantitatively | Students use mathematics in the abstract and are able to symbolically represent quantities and their relationships—understanding the underlying meaning, not just how to compute. |
| Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others | Individually or in groups, students articulate and defend their ideas and analyze the reasoning of others. |
| Model with mathematics | Students apply the mathematics they know to solve problems using tools such as diagrams, tables, graphs, and formulas to represent and analyze relationships and draw conclusions. |
| Use appropriate tools strategically | Students consider available tools—including concrete models and technology—and use them strategically to solve mathematical problems. |
| Attend to precision | Students are precise in their mathematical communication, use of terminology, and are careful about expressing numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. |
| Look for and make use of structure | Students look for and make use of pattern and structure in learning mathematics and solving problems. |
| Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning | Students notice repetitions in calculations and look for general methods and for shortcuts. |

Our Common Core courses incorporate our Guiding Principles and support educators to:
- Understand the theoretical underpinnings of the Mathematical Practices and
the ideas of focus and coherence embedded in the Content Standards.
- Strengthen math content and pedagogical knowledge in order to understand
various solution paths and students' reasoning.
- Understand how children learn—to encourage mathematical thinking and
articulation and defense of ideas and reasoning.
- Develop insight into individual learners' content mastery and math reasoning.
- Cultivate new instructional strategies that promote thinking, reasoning,
and sense making to make math accessible for ALL students.
