Instructional Toolkit

Strong classroom practices are at the core of meaningful learning experiences for students. As teaching is organized around opportunities for students to engage in productive struggle and academic discourse about rigorous mathematics tasks, students will grow their abilities to communicate, problem-solve, and collaborate, and will build identities as owners of mathematics. Our hope is that by using the relevant strategies found in the Instructional Toolkit for Mathematics, teachers and students will get maximum benefit from any lesson at every grade level.

Three signature strategies each supports a different aspect of engaging students in mathematical discourse – in speaking, reading, and writing.
