<\/p>As I spend time examining the Common Core State Standards for math, I am struck by how powerful the mathematics is in there.\u00a0 What concerns me the most is that the CCSS was written by mathematicians who have a fantastic handle on what mathematicians need to know, but I think the documents lack a bit of down-to-earth verbiage for teachers and students.\u00a0 When I read the 8 mathematical practices, I was impressed at how the practices discussed the habits of mind that it takes to be a mathematician.\u00a0 The more I read it, though, the more I realized how difficult it would be in its current state to use in the K-8 classroom.\u00a0 For the past two years, I have used the 8 practices in my classroom (grades 6-8) to not only drive my instruction, but to guide the methods that I use to help students become mathematicians.\u00a0 I also have a version of the practices for the lower grade levels (K-3).\u00a0 Over the course of two years, I feel that I created a student-friendly version of the practices and engaging lessons to help students use them every day in the classroom.\u00a0 I have a narrated power-point to explain my lessons and there are documents to use in the classroom at my website<\/a> $\"small_picture_8_practices\"$ .\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
