Common Core Standards have put in place the 8 Math Practices which focus on the “processes and proficiencies” of doing math. Simply put they are ~ what we do when we do math!
Students should be:
- thinking the problem out
- reasoning
- modeling
- talking math with one another
We are trying to get students to develop an understanding of how to do the math. It is no longer enough that students get the correct answer, but more importantly HOW they got it. While reading an article the author stated, "If kids could be successful without having to think or reason, then the lesson is not good enough".
