"The graphic above shows the inter-related strands of mathematical proficiency. These are the desired outcomes of Math instruction. These outcomes are also embedded in the standards documents as the 8 Math Practices. It is important to note that these are STUDENT math practices which instruction should cultivate over time. How do we do that? The 8 Effective Math Teaching Practices below, implemented routinely, will lead to these student outcomes."
