14.043-14 - Analyzing the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice

Thu, April 16, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Hyatt, Floor: East Tower - Purple Level, Riverside East

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

The Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs), which include problem solving, constructing arguments, modeling, attending to precision, and looking for structure, represent some of the most important aspects of doing and learning mathematics, yet, because of their inherent complexity, are also some of the most difficult phenomena to investigate empirically. This symposium focuses on analytic techniques and methodological challenges of current research projects studying the SMPs. The papers represent a variety of research contexts but they share the aim of operationalizing and making sense of particular SMPs. Establishing a common ground for analysis of the SMPs has implications for future research in this area as well as for practitioners striving to implement the SMPs with students.
