Unveiling the Secrets of Effective Teaching: Corwin Mathematics Series

Mathematics education is a crucial aspect of a student's academic journey. Whether you are a teacher looking to enhance your instructional strategies or a parent seeking ways to support your child's learning, the Corwin Mathematics Series is here to provide you with valuable insights and practical approaches to teaching mathematics effectively.

Understanding What They Say and What They Mean

Mathematics can sometimes be a cryptic language, challenging both students and educators alike. Students often struggle to decipher mathematical concepts, leading to frustration and disinterest in the subject. As educators, it is our responsibility to bridge the gap between what they say and what they mean.

The Corwin Mathematics Series dives deep into the nuances of mathematical language and helps educators unravel the underlying meanings behind students' words. By understanding the language used by students while discussing mathematics, teachers can identify misconceptions, clarify ideas, and guide students towards a clearer understanding of mathematical concepts.

The series explores various strategies to promote effective communication during math instruction, fostering a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas. By shedding light on the subtle differences between what students say and what they truly mean, we can adapt our teaching methods to address their specific needs.

Teaching Mathematics Effectively: Practical Tips and Strategies

The Corwin Mathematics Series goes beyond mere understanding of students' language to equip educators with practical tools, techniques, and strategies for effective mathematics instruction. The series emphasizes the importance of incorporating real-world contexts, problem-solving scenarios, and hands-on activities which students can relate to, enhancing their engagement with the subject matter.

One key aspect the series explores is the use of manipulatives and visual representations to help students grasp abstract mathematical concepts. By providing concrete examples and visual aids, educators can bring mathematics to life, making it more accessible and tangible for learners of all abilities.

Furthermore, the series offers valuable insights into the use of technology as a powerful tool to enhance mathematics instruction. From virtual manipulatives to online interactive activities, teachers can leverage technology to create dynamic learning experiences that cater to various learning styles and promote deeper mathematical understanding.

Empowering Mathematics Educators

The Corwin Mathematics Series recognizes the critical role played by educators in shaping students' mathematical journeys. The series goes beyond the classroom, providing professional development resources and research-based strategies to empower mathematics educators.

Through comprehensive guides, engaging case studies, and reflective exercises, the series supports teachers in building their pedagogical knowledge and refining their instructional practices. By incorporating evidence-based strategies and staying updated with the latest research in mathematics education, educators can confidently navigate the ever-evolving landscape of teaching mathematics.

Unlocking the Potential of Mathematics Education

The Corwin Mathematics Series is revolutionizing mathematics education by empowering educators with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to unlock the potential of every learner. By bridging the gap between what students say and what they mean, and by embracing innovative teaching methods, educators can inspire a love for mathematics and ensure that every student succeeds.

So, whether you are an educator, a parent, or an advocate for quality mathematics education, join us in exploring the Corwin Mathematics Series and embark on a transformative journey towards unlocking the full potential of mathematics instruction.

Your user’s guide to the mathematics standards

In the 12 short months since the ELA versions of The Common Core Companions, Grades K-2 and 3-5, burst on the scene, they’ve already assisted tens of thousands of teachers with the day-to-day "what you do." Teachers’ one big criticism: what about mathematics? Luckily NCTM past-president Linda Gojak and mathematics coach Ruth Harbin Miles stepped up to the task. The result? That version of the mathematics standards you wish you had.

Page by page, The Common Core Mathematics Companions clearly lay out:

• The mathematics embedded in each standard for a deeper understanding of the content

• Examples of what effective teaching and learning look like in the classroom  

• Connected standards within each domain so teachers can better appreciate how they relate

• Priorities within clusters so teachers know where to focus their time

• The three components of rigor: conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and applications

• Vocabulary and suggested materials for each grade-level band with explicit connections to the standards

• Common student misconceptions around key mathematical ideas with ways to address them

Don’t spend another minute poring over the mathematics standards. Gojak and Miles have already done the heavy-lifting for you. Focus instead on how to teach them, using The Common Core Mathematics Companion as your one-stop guide for teaching, planning, assessing, collaborating, and designing powerful mathematics curriculum.
