In this session, we focus on five practices for the instruction of math that have a strong evidence base. First, we focus on modeling, practice, and feedback. Then, we discuss the importance of using clear and concise math vocabulary. Third, we review multiple representations and why they are important for conceptual and procedural learning. Next, we discuss the importance of building fluency. Finally, we review essential components of word-problem instruction. By the end of this session, you will have confidence in creating a strong instructional platform in math!
