Standards of
Mathematical
Practice
http://thinkmath.blog.monroe.edu/
Today’s Goals
• To explore the mathematical standards for
Content and Practice
• To discuss and learn strategies for getting
students engaged in the Standards of
Mathematical Practice
• To explore how we can use existing
resources to focus on the Practices
Common Core State Standards

of statements to explore
the conjecture
Analyze situations by
breaking them into cases
Recognize and use
counter examples

• Over emphasis on computation obscures
understanding of the operations.
• Focus on behavior of the operations
supports computational fluency.

Content Goals
These standards of practice will be
examined in the context of the following
content standard:
Understand properties of the operations.
Grade 1: p. 14
Grade 2: p. 18
Grade 3: p. 22
Grade 4: p. 28
Grade 5: p. 33 (paragraph #2)
What generalization is suggested by
these problems?

Adding 1 to a Factor
Writing prompt:
In a multiplication problem, if you add 1 to a
factor, I think this will happen to the product…
Students’ Articulation of the Claim
• “The number that is not increased is the
number that the answer goes up by.”
• “The number that is staying and not going
up, increases by however many it is.”
• “I think that the factor you increase, it goes
up by the other factor.”
Sample task
• Draw a picture for the original equation; then change it
just enough to match the new equations.
• Make an array for the original equation; then change it
just enough to match the new equations.
• Write a story for the original equation; then change it
just enough to match the new equations.
Example: Original equation 7 x 5 = 35
New equations 7 x 6 = 42
8 x 5 = 40
Frannie’s Story Context
There are 7 jewelry boxes and each box has
5 pieces of jewelry. There are 35 pieces of
jewelry altogether.

Making Sense of Multiplication
Explain how the array changes from 7 x 5 to 8 x 5
and from 7 x 5 to 7 x 6.

Strategies for Implementing
the Practices
Use Rich Tasks
Where to find rich tasks.

http://www.galileo.org/math/MathProblems.html
http://balancedassessment.concord.org/tasksalpha.html
Rich Problems Worksheet
• Read through the tasks on the Rich Problems
worksheet
• With a partner discuss what similarities you
see in these problems
Creating Open Ended
Questions
Creating open ended questions
• With a partner choose an upcoming topic you
will be teaching.
• Create 3 open ended questions to engage your
students?
• For each questions what Math Practices would
you expect your students to be engaged in?
Additional Strategies
Where do I find these opportunities
in my resources?
With a partner, pick an upcoming lesson and
discuss how you are going to integrate the
standards of Mathematical Practice.
• Focus on 1 or 2 Practices
• What will you see the students doing if
they are engaging in the Practices?
• How will you facilitate the Practices?
