A yearlong professional development project investigated types of discourse and argumentation that students engage in, participation structures and routines that teachers can include to support students, and types of tasks that promote mathematical argumentation.

Students must actively engage in exploring math. That is why I am always looking for tasks that will allow my students to to explore problems using the Common Core's (CCSSI 2010) eight Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP). These standards are vital for developing a deepening understanding of math. They allow students to cultivate skills and thought processes that aid in wiring their brains into being deep thinkers and problem solvers. These skills transcend the classroom and are needed to be successful in the world. I also want my students to revisit ideas that we have already touched on and continue to examine.

From coast to coast, America is filled with different types of fascinating landmarks. This set of problems offers a mathematical road trip visiting the famous sites. Math by the Month features collections of short activities focused on a monthly theme. These articles aim for an inquiry or problem-solving orientation that includes four activities each for grade bands K–2, 3–4, and 5–6.

In 1989 the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) launched the standards-based education movement with the release of Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989). Subsequent publications built on this foundation by further detailing the mathematics content of student learning (NCTM 2000, 2006; CCSSI 2010). We have learned, however, that more is needed than content standards if we are to realize the goal of high levels of mathematical understanding by each and every student. For that reason, NCTM formed a writing team in 2012 to envision and develop a document that could guide mathematics education into the future. I served as one of three lead writers on this team. After several revisions, including feedback on a public review draft, our work resulted in the publication of Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (NCTM 2014). In this article, I provide some background on Principles to Actions, reflect on its initial impact, and suggest next steps for our professional work toward ambitious teaching of mathematics.

When implementing STEM activities, such as model rockets blasting off or paper airplanes flying across the room, the mathematical or scientific content can get lost as we focus on the “wow factor.” However, meaningful learning experiences can be implemented anytime by employing the components of the 4E×2 instructional model. In essence, the model promotes students exploring their ideas before constructing an explanation for their concept, allowing the development of deeper understanding and connections with multiple conceptions.
