CCSS 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice Visioning Grids
While the content of the CCSS for Mathematics is very familiar to many teachers (with some grade level adjustments here and there), the 8 "Standards for Mathematical Practice" are not so familiar. The CCSS boldly encourage us to not just consider the content we teach, but perhaps more importantly, how we teach and the types of experiences we craft for our students as they are learning. The "Visioning Grid" provided here is just one way to begin thinking deeply about how we all can truly incorporate these quality practices; successful integration should lead to deep and lasting student understanding and use of mathematics. The final page is a graphic which shows that the CCSS are just one of many components of a quality mathematics education. By integrating multiple best-practices, we give our students the best experience possible. Many of these best-practices can be woven into "what this looks like" and "what this sounds like" in the visioning grid.
