Elements of Practice
What does the research say?Elements of Practice
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) launched the education standards movement. Over the years, we have learned that more is needed than standards to reach the goal of high levels of mathematical understanding by all students. Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (PTA), is a landmark publication that pulls together all of the major contributions of what we do and how we think about our own teaching practices. Importantly, it describes eight effective math teaching practices required to ensure that all students learn to become mathematical thinkers and are prepared for any pathway they should choose. The over-arching message is that effective teaching is the non-negotiable core necessary to ensure that all students learn mathematics.
