Mathematics

We provide training and support to school districts to promote awareness and implementation of best practices for effective mathematics instruction, including teaching and mathematical practices. Our mathematics consultants use the Missouri mathematics standards as a guide for these trainings and conversations.

Effective Teaching Practices

  • Connect the effective mathematical teaching practices across the math curriculum to ensure every student has access to a high quality math program.

Fluency

  • Build fluency by applying procedures efficiently, flexibly, and accurately. Use Number Talks and Math Routines to develop number sense.

Data & Student Work

  • Use classroom, district, and state data to guide instruction.

DESE Resources

  • Use DESE resources to promote student learning.
