El. knyga: Bringing the Common Core Math Standards to Life: Exemplary Practices from High Schools 2nd edition [Taylor & Francis e-book]

"As schools shift to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, many high school teachers are left wondering what the new standards should actually look like in the classroom. By taking a look at real Common Core math classrooms in high schools across the country, this book shows how effective teachers are meeting the new requirements and covering topics such as proportional reasoning, problem solving, and geometry. Special Features: - Real examples of how teachers are meeting the CCSS in engaging ways - Commentary sections to show how you can implement the exemplary sample lessons in your own classroom - Practical, ready-to-use tools, including unit plans and classroom handouts"--

The first edition focused on teachers implementing the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards, but the practices they describe can also apply to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, so four new chapters on the Common Core replace four of the original 14 chapters. Of the ten chapters profiling educators who are successfully implementing the Common Core with high school students or classroom teachers, one reports on teacher professional development. Another shows how university mathematicians and mathematics/science education instructors can engage classroom teachers in challenging tasks to promote appreciation for classroom discourse so that, after reflection, the teachers may similarly engage their students.

As high school math teachers shift to the Common Core State Standards, the question remains: What do the standards actually look like in the classroom? This book answers that question by taking you inside of real Common Core classrooms across the country. You’ll see how exemplary teachers are meeting the new requirements and engaging students in math. Through these detailed examples of effective instruction, you will uncover how to bring the standards to life in your own classroom!

Special Features:

• A clear explanation of the big shifts happening in the classroom as a result of the Common Core State Standards

• Real examples of how exemplary teachers are using engaging strategies and tasks to teach algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, mathematics across the curriculum, and more
  A detailed analysis of each example to help you understand why it is effective and how you can try it with your own students

• Practical, ready-to-use tools you can take back to your classroom, including unit plans and classroom handouts
