Smith, Margaret; Bill, Victoria; Raith, Mary Lynn – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2018
The vision of mathematics learning advocated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) for twenty-five years (1989, 1991, 2000, 2014) positions students as active learners, constructing their knowledge of mathematics through exploration, discussion, and reflection. World-class standards put into place by states and provinces over…

Beaudine, Gregory – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2018
If teachers have a deeper comprehension of their students' reading ability, it may lead to students' improved literacy and understanding of the subject. The account presented in this article of the author's growing interest in mathematical literacy specifically involves mathematical reading. This shift in interest began with a six-week…

Bush, Sarah B. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2019
In April 2018, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) released "Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations," a long-needed and well-articulated position for transforming the core purposes, structures, instructional practices, essential mathematics concepts, and organization of high…

Amidon, Joel C.; Trevathan, Morgan L. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
Raising expectations is nothing new. Every iteration of standards elevates the expectations for what students should know and be able to do. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) is no exception, with standards for content and practice that move beyond memorization of traditional algorithms to "make sense of problems and…

Gunter, Melissa D. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
Writing about mathematics holds a wealth of benefits for students. When students are given opportunities to write in math class, it helps develop mathematical thinking and language, encourages self-reflection, and provides a better way to organize ideas. Many teachers incorporate journaling and other types of reflective writing into their…

Hodge, Lynn Liao; Walther, Ashley – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2017
Although it is not a new idea, discourse continues to be a topic of discussion among teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in mathematics education. The National Council of Teachers (NCTM) and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM 2010) describe mathematics classrooms as discourse communities in which whole-class…

Goodwin, Chris; Ortiz, Enrique – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Modeling using mathematics and making inferences about mathematical situations are becoming more prevalent in most fields of study. Descriptive statistics cannot be used to generalize about a population or make predictions of what can occur. Instead, inference must be used. Simulation and sampling are essential in building a foundation for…

Magiera, Marta T. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2013
An important goal of school mathematics is to enable students to formulate, approach, and refine problems beyond those they have studied, allowing them to organize and consolidate their mathematical thinking. To achieve this goal, students should be encouraged to develop expertise in a variety of areas, such as problem solving, reasoning and…

Guerrero, Shannon M. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Algebra Standard states that instructional programs at the middle grades should enable students to "represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols" (2000, p. 222). Guess and check is a powerful problem-solving strategy that can connect a conceptual…

Herbel-Eisenmann, Beth; Shah, Niral – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2019
This article explores teaching practices described in NCTM's [National Council of Teachers of Mathematics'] "Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All." Investigating and mitigating implicit bias in questions are discussed in this article, which is another installment in the series.

Nielsen, Maria E.; Bostic, Jonathan D. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2018
"Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All" (NCTM 2014) emphasizes eight teaching practices for effective mathematics teaching, one of which is to "use and connect multiple representations" (NCTM 2014, p. 24). An action that describes how teachers might promote this practice is to "allocate substantial…

Buchheister, Kelley; Jackson, Christa; Taylor, Cynthia E. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2019
With an increased focus on using social discourse to enhance students' mathematical thinking and reasoning (NCTM 2014, Staples and King 2017), teachers are looking for discussion strategies that encourage middlelevel students to make sense of mathematical concepts. However, structuring these valuable discussions is complex. Teachers must carefully…

Beck, Shari A.; Huse, Vanessa E.; Reed, Brenda R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2007
This article describes an activity that incorporates 9 of the 10 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. Students explore a stacking garden containing multiple layers. The garden allows students to focus on finding the amount of border material needed and the amount of space available for planting. The problem balances the…

Chua, Boon Liang – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2008
When students learn mathematics, they tend to understand and remember the mathematical processes that they find practical and relevant. It is not surprising then that "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (NCTM 2000) encourages teachers to help students discover the relevance of mathematics in their daily lives. To help young people…
