Like what you learned in Core Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom (Part 1): Foundations, but still ask, “What strategies can I use in my classroom to facilitate deep mathematical understanding?” This three-hour course is the second course in a two-part series that builds on the elements learned by diving deeply into the topics introduced in the previous course. You will learn about specific strategies and reflect on specific actions you can take in your classroom to plan instruction for standards alignment and mathematical rigor. 

Who should take this course? This course expands on Core Instruction in the Mathematics Classroom (Part 1): Foundations. Take this course if you are interested in more in-depth learning on strategies for improving core mathematics instruction.  

• Build on your learning from the first course with strategies you can implement in your math classroom to achieve rigor
• Learn how you can use the domain progressions in planning your mathematics instruction
• Explore how the standards for mathematical practice translate to teacher and student actions in the classroom and the strategies you can use to implement the standards
• Practice using the domains and standards to plan mathematics instruction that considers how students progress across grade levels
