  2. Math is about making sense.
  3. Math is filled with conjectures, creativity, and uncertainty.
  4. Mistakes are beautiful things. 

 

Resources

 

Big Idea 1: Math is about learning, not about performing.

 Focus of Understandings

 

  • Develop a Productive Mathematical Disposition

    • Student actions support the idea that everyone can learn mathematics.

  • Develop Accurate and Appropriate Procedural Fluency

    • Students development of fluency should be over time and should not be equated to speed.

Big Idea 2: Math is about making sense.

 Focus of Understandings

 

  • Develop a Productive Mathematical Disposition
