New Insights in Math Learning. Education Week. Spotlight
Editorial Projects in Education
Integrating evidence-based strategies can allow educators to tailor math instruction to empower student learning. This Spotlight will help you investigate which math curricula schools are selecting; review the disconnect between math education theory and the methods teachers actually use; learn how teachers can optimize how they introduce math facts and still prioritize conceptual knowledge; identify effective strategies to improve student math outcomes; and more. Articles in this Spotlight include: (1) Are Schools Choosing High-Quality Math Curricula? A New Database Offers Clues (Sarah Schwartz); (2) Math Teachers and Math Ed. Professors Don't See Eye to Eye on Best Practices (Sarah Schwartz); (3) Preparing Math Teachers: What's in the Coursework? (Sarah Schwartz); (4) Making Sense of Fractions: This Tactic Helped Students Grasp a Key Math Topic (Sarah Schwartz); (5) Kids Need to Know Their Math Facts. What Schools Can Do to Help (Stephen Sawchuk); (6) Why Does Fact Fluency Matter in Math? 4 Educators Offer Answers (Sarah Schwartz); (7) 11 Ways to Make Math Instruction More Accessible to English-Learners (Larry Ferlazzo); and (8) Students' Math Outcomes Have Plummeted. Here's What to Do (Tracy Fray-Oliver). [This Spotlight was sponsored by MIND Education.]
