Day One (January 13):

• Introduction to the mathematical practices of the common core state standards

• Use critical vocabulary to structure conversations to deepen math understanding (Common Core math vocabulary)

• Understand the power of base ten place value to manipulate numbers easily

• Apply these processes to your existing math materials

• Learn how to present concepts in the simplest, clearest way; the appropriate sequential order for developing math skills; what students find difficult; and what errors they are likely to make. 

• Lay a foundation for algebraic thinking.

• Develop deep understanding of equality, place value, fractions and mathematical problem-solution using whole numbers, decimals and fractions.
