Additional StrategiesAttached is a list of STTS. Some teachers make a poster of these for their classrooms and place a checkmark next to those that they have tried so that their students become familiar with these strategies. |
AmbassadorMode of Instruction: Teamwork Purpose: To have students share strategies Objective: To support productive struggle in the classroom, students share math authority in their learning by sharing strategies and multiple methods. The teacher can monitor the procedural development of conceptual understanding. Students are eligible to be Ambassadors once the team has finished problem solving and the teacher has assessed for understanding. An Ambassador is sent to work with other teams to support productive struggle. The Ambassador asks the team questions to guide understanding during problem solving.

Anticipating
Anticipating is Step 1 of the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Math Discussions. |
Assessment Practices Outcome 1Understand CPM and NCTM assessment documents and connect them to instructional practice and assessment decisions |
Assessment Practices Outcome 2Reflect on and make connections between formative assessment and instructional strategies |
Assessment Practices Outcome 3Utilize CPM’s assessment tools and resources |
Assessment Practices Outcome 4Identify appropriate formative and summative assessment topics and strategies for each chapter based on the learning progression |
Assessment Practices Outcome 5Understand the purpose and value of team tests |
Assessment Practices Outcome 6Develop feedback and expectations for all forms of assessments |
Attend to precisionMathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently and express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. |
