Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All
Eight High-Leverage Instructional Practices
• Establish mathematics goals to focus learning
• Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving
• Use and connect mathematical representations
• Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse
• Pose purposeful questions
• Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding
• Support productive struggle in learning mathematics
• Elicit and use evidence of student thinking
This read was unpacking specific teaching practices, that are essential for high-quality mathematics education for all students.
Reflecting on my teaching practice and learning from the article, I confirmed that implementing Talk Moves, Number Talk and Problem solving are powerful tools of an effective maths programme. Another example of the HLP is a balance of group and mixed ability teaching in various learning situations.
This read resonated with my belief in the importance to explicitly focus on developing a Growth mindset and changing students' negative beliefs about 'being bad in maths' and developing critical thinking and achievement across the curriculum.
