This course is designed to help educators effectively incorporate the CCLS Math Modules into their classrooms. Educators will learn how to read and digest the math modules in order to make them more user- friendly. They will learn about the instructional shifts in mathematics due to the new CCLS and how it will impact their math instruction. Due to the lengthiness of the Math Modules, educators will work within their grade levels to create a set of “upacked” modules that will help them create workable documents based on the modules to use in their classrooms.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the shifts in mathematics due to the new CCLS.
“unpack” the math modules to create more user-friendly versions for their classroom.
ask more thought provoking mathematical questions of their students and learn how to help students engage in higher mathematical talk with each other.
Create lessons to be used in the classroom that are aligned to the Math CCLS and use the modules as a guide
