When done right, small-group instruction is a powerful tool for facilitating student understanding in K-5 mathematics. Throughout the book, best practices for small-group math instruction are addressed in detail, from planning tasks that encourage deep understanding to asking effective questions to engaging learners in meaningful conversations. Readers will learn how teaching mathematics in small groups allows you to differentiate instruction for both remediation and enrichment. The included small-group instruction videos demonstrate the suggested strategies in a real-classroom setting, giving readers the opportunity to see best practice in action. Develop math-specific instruction strategies for teaching small groups in elementary school: Explore the benefits of small-group math activities and how these activities are unique compared to large-group instruction. Discover the teacher's and students' roles in small-group instruction and how teachers can help students develop the skills to fulfill their role. Learn how to apply the general tasks, questions, and evidence (TQE) process to small-group instruction in order to enhance student learning and improve your knowledge of teaching mathematics. View examples of small-group instruction, which provide both math intervention and math enrichment activities for different students.

Provides specific information on how to transform schools into results-oriented professional learning communities, describing the best practices that have been used by schools nationwide.

Traditional curriculum and teaching practices are antiquated, do not address the educational needs of students, and are inconsistent from district to district, school to school, and classroom to classroom. This inequity has caused many students to miss out on the opportunity to learn vital knowledge. Common Core Mathematics in a PLC at Work, Leader's Guide gives school leaders the tools to effectively offer mathematics instruction and address the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics challenge: All students successfully learning rigorous standards for college or career preparatory mathematics. Much of the material series editor and author Timothy D. Kanold and coauthor Matthew R. Larson present in this book, and the Common Core Mathematics series, has been part of the national discussion on mathematics reform and improvement since the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM) release of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards in 1989. This book provides a leader-focused guide to teaching and learning mathematics in grades K 12. The five chapters focus on the five fundamental areas (collaboration, instruction, content, assessment, and intervention) required to prepare every school leader and teacher for successful implementation of CCSS for mathematics. Chapter 1 discusses the necessity to lead collaborative teams within a PLC to successfully implement the CCSS for mathematics. Chapter 2 focuses on leading the implementation of the CCSS Mathematical Practices, the high-cognitive-demand tasks necessary for procedural fluency and student understanding of the CCSS. Chapter 3 describes leading teachers to embrace the CCSS content the standards, content standard clusters, and domains and the shift to less (fewer standards) is more (deeper rigor with understanding). Chapter 4 introduces the teaching-assessing-learning cycle and describes formative assessment practices and summative assessment instruments leaders can use with teacher teams. Chapter 5 illustrates the required response to intervention model a process that requires students to participate in differentiated instruction or intervention. Each chapter's Extending My Understanding section has resources and tools leaders can use individually or with their collaborative teams to understand and reflect on chapter recommendations. Using this resource, and the grade-level books in the Common Core Mathematics series for their teacher teams, every school leader can learn valuable information to optimize mathematics teaching and learning.
