Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program for Upper Elementary Grades

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics are rigorous. Now that most states have accepted the CCSS, they need to first understand the CCSS and then design a way to implement the CCSS in mathematics. This third title in series discusses the rigor of the standards; reviews learning progressions; defines practice standards, and focuses on developing mathematical problems to create higher math development. Volume one is Navigating Implementation, volume two is English Language Arts and volume four is Assessment and Collaboration.

The United States has been plagued for decades by two traditional approaches prominent in math classrooms. Students lose out when math teaching emphasizes a set of procedures for students’ use without conceptual understanding, and covers material to prepare for a test or meet a pacing guide without concern for student understanding. Balancing Mathematics Instruction provides an effective strategy for schools to change math instruction in preparation for the Common Core State Standards. These practices emphasize a student-centered classroom environment that promotes four instructional areas to “balance” out textbook- and standards-driven teaching: computational strength, number sense, problem solving, and conceptual understanding. The content of the book and the accompanying DVD, an integral visual resource illustrating the practices in action in actual classrooms, describes these four instructional areas and how to implement them in the classroom.
