Newton, MA Developing Mathematical Habits of Mind: CME Project Implementation Workshops
Learn about the structure and philosophy of the CME Project mathematics curriculum for grades 8–12 in workshops led by authors and experienced teachers. Prepare to teach CME Project and gain confidence with the materials. Delve into the mathematics of CME Project and analyze the underlying pedagogical ideas as you address practical implementation issues such as pacing, differentiation, and assessment. Learn innovative approaches to develop students' "mathematical ways of thinking" or mathematical habits of mind, and see how mathematical ideas, skills, and themes are introduced early and strengthened throughout the program. By the end of each workshop, you will leave with a deeper understanding of CME Project and strategies to deepen student understanding of high school mathematics and beyond.
Our workshops are designed for teachers implementing CME Project and for coaches who support implementation. They also are ideal for administrators and curriculum leaders who would like to understand the content and pedagogy of the curriculum.
This session focuses on Algebra of CME Project. Experience approaches to key topics in algebra and think about how these ideas translate to practice. Engage in and recognize applications of the Mathematical Practices from the Common Core State Standards that are characteristically algebraic.
