Gain lesson-design strategies and instructional methods of teaching mathematics in a PLC that supports student learning through standards-based math activities and lessons. Participants will:

• Plan for the use of balanced, rigorous mathematical practices and routines to teach each content standard during core instruction.
• Identify the appropriate math activities and tasks needed to develop understanding, application, and fluency progressions of mathematical concepts.
• Implement instructional strategies for math that ensure the formative learning of all students during lessons.

High Quality Lesson Design Elements will include:

• The Why of the Lesson: Learning Standards
• Prior Knowledge Warm-Up Activities
• Academic Warm-Up Activities
• Lower- and Higher-Level Cognitive Demand Mathematics Tasks Balance
• Whole-Group and Small-Group Discourse Balance
• Lesson Closure and Evidence of Learning
