RESEARCH-BASED RESOURCES The Mathematics Education Project will draw on research-based resources to increase educators' knowledge of mathematics and pedagogy to improve student learning. The work focuses on content and processes emphasized in the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and assessed by the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). DEVELOPING MATHEMATICAL IDEASA curriculum designed to help teachers think through major ideas of K-6 mathematics and examine how children develop those ideas. COGNITIVELY GUIDED INSTRUCTIONA K-5 professional development program that provides a framework for teachers to understand the development of children's computational fluency. YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS AT WORKUses video-based materials for K-6 teachers through which participants follow an instructional sequence over several lessons. WORKING WITH PARENTS AND THE PUBLIC A series to help parents and the public learn to recognize and support quality mathematics programs in schools. An opportunity for administrators and teacher leaders to think through ideas that underlie standards-based reform in mathematics teaching and learning. Uses video cases of mathematics teaching at the middle school level, and in-depth analysis of each lesson from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS-BASED MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION Identifies features of problems that engage students in mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.
