Bring Common Core Math into high school with smart, engaging
activities
Teaching Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On Activities,
Grades 9-12 provides high school teachers with the kind of help
they need to begin teaching the standards right away. This
invaluable guide pairs each standard with one or more
classroom-ready activities and suggestions for variations and
extensions. Covering a range of abilities and learning styles,
these activities bring the Common Core Math Standards to life as
students gain fluency in math communication and develop the
skillset they need to tackle successively more complex math courses
in the coming years. Make math anxiety a thing of the past as you
show your students how they use math every day of their lives, and
give them the cognitive tools to approach any math problem with
competence and confidence.
The Common Core Standards define the knowledge and skills
students need to graduate high school fully prepared for college
and careers. Meeting these standards positions American students
more competitively in the global economy, and sets them on a track
to achieve their dreams. This book shows you how to teach the math
standards effectively, and facilitate a deeper understanding of
math concepts and calculations.
* Help students apply their understanding of math concepts
* Teach essential abstract and critical thinking skills
* Demonstrate various problem-solving strategies
* Lay a foundation for success in higher mathematics
The rapid adoption of the Common Core Standards across the
nation has left teachers scrambling for aligned lessons and
activities. If you want to bring new ideas into the classroom
today, look no further. Teaching Common Core Math Standards with
Hands-On Activities is the high school math teacher's solution
for smart, engaging Common Core math.
