Mathematics

Glencoe Math is an approach to teaching mathematics developed as a write-in student edition, that allow each child to interact with their text in multiple ways throughout the learning process. Written specifically to address the standards of the Common Core State Standards, Glencoe Math offers personalized vocabulary, student-created examples, and online games that help students move from learning abstract concepts to direct application.

Built Around the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

• Organized around Essential Questions for focused content

• Sequenced instruction to ensure student success

• Written to explicitly address the new CCSS

Focus on the Standards of Mathematical Practice

• Multiple experiences to build conceptual understanding

• Modeling, reasoning, and productive disposition activities

• Real-world problem-solving examples required for success

Problem Solving: Follows a consistent learning model across the grade levels (My Math K-5) to ensure student understanding and success.

1. Learn the Strategy—Teach the 4 steps?of problem solving (Understand/ Plan/ Solve/ Check)

2. Practice the Strategy—Give opportunities to work through thinking process

3. Apply the Strategy—Help students recognize how and when to use strategies

4. Review the Strategies—Develop fluency and expertise through practice of learned strategies
