This course focuses on the curriculum and pedagogy of standards-based mathematics. Participants engage in problem solving and representing the mathematical concepts and professional teaching standards of mathematics. Participants use a range of tools, including, but not limited to: graphing calculators, hands-on manipulatives, electronic probes, and internet resources. The course addresses the application of the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework (MMCF) and the Massachusetts Professional Standards for Teachers (PST). Learning standards from all five strands of the MMCF for grades kindergarten through eight and grades nine through twelve are included, as appropriate, with an emphasis on developing skills for improving instruction, assessment and student achievement.
