Connecting Learning from Previous Years and Skills
Coherence Map: Achieve the Core has mapped the Common Core standards from grade to grade, so that you can visually track a skill both forwards (to where this skill will come into play in the future) and backwards (prerequisite skills that a student may need in order to master a skill that you are ready to teach. If you poke around on the pages, you will find skill sheets available to assist or assess skills.

Quantiles.com -- Math Skills Database: Quantiles.com has researched the mathematical skills needed to be successful in mathematics. They have assigned a skill and skill level to every imaginable skill, and placed them in order from easiest to hardest. As you poke around this website, you will find skills, descriptions, and materials to help teach and assess these skills in order for students to be successful.
The GUES Strategy: This came out of a PD session for reading with math teachers, and was modeled after the Close Reading Strategy. The idea was that the most popular answers among our students was "IDK" [I don't know] which gains us a grand total of 0 points for each question. If we can teach our students to respond to Open Constructed Response questions appropriately, then they would experience higher levels of success. GUES stands for Given, Unknown, Equations (expressions or explanations), and Solution. Read more here.

Teaching Mathematics through Progressions:
Teach students the relationships of numbers, expressions, and equations in a way that makes sense to them. (I have used this to teach solving linear equations and expressions to students as young as second grade -- although I did not go as far as variables with them). Read more here. |

Definition of Mathematics: The study of the things you can count or measure and the relationships between them.
Concept of Number:
composition (ex: 37 = 30 + 7 = 20 + 17 = 36 + 1/2 + 1/2, etc.)
What is being counted or measured?
What units are they being measured in?
What relationships do they have? How do we show these:
