Common Core State Standards
Professional Development For Implementing Mathematical Practices
CPM can help you along the path to CCSS, regardless of which text you are using.
CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. |
The Standards for Mathematical Practice are a significant focus of CCSS. They are a set of eight practices that describe the thinking processes, habits of mind, and dispositions that students need to develop a deep, flexible, and enduring understanding of mathematics.
CPM can provide professional development centered around embedding the eight Mathematical Practices into your current lessons and current textbook from any publisher. Start moving on the path to CCSS today.
CPM is an educational non-profit organization specializing in professional development and curriculum. Since its inception in 1989, the principles of CPM teaching strategies—problem-based lessons, collaborative student work, and spaced practice—are based on the methodological research for teaching mathematics that leads to conceptual understanding and powerful mathematical thinking. The CCSS Mathematical Practices, similar to previous "best practices" such as the Marzano Principles or CPM's "Ways of Thinking," have always been integral to CPM pedagogy.
Thus CPM is uniquely qualified to offer professional development in the CCSS Mathematical Practices.
| CPM Teaching Strategies |
| CPM believes that learning occurs best in a problem-centered context where students are becoming powerful mathematical thinkers by being active participants in their learning. CPM teaching strategies hold students responsible for high academic rigor, analysis, and critical thinking. CPM believe that students benefit by working interdependently in study teams to solve large challenging problems: sharing information, opinions, and expertise, while providing clarification to each other, analyzing, building on each other's ideas, coming to consensus, and productively critiquing each other's work. As students do rich mathematics, they communicate their thinking and understanding in a clear and convincing manner, formally and informally, in writing and orally. |
