Opportunities for Learning Mathematics

Description

A Workbook for Mathematics Educators Aligned to the Common Core State Standards.

"The goal of this publication is to engage mathematics educators and researchers in analyzing scenarios of K-5 mathematics classrooms and provide alternative suggestions for furthering student understanding. Each scenario is a description of an episode that occurred in a mathematics lesson. These lessons were fully scripted during the process of observing teachers and students in the classroom as part of the Leadership Institute for Teachers (LIFT), a current NSF-funded project. During these observations, researchers documented situations in which opportunities for clarifying and deepening understanding of key mathematical concepts were missed."
