  • Slide 28
  • 28 More Findings Use high-quality research to inform instructional practice Instruction should not be entirely student- centered nor teacher-directed NAEP and state assessments should be improved in quality The nation must continue to build capacity for more rigorous research in education
  • Slide 29
  • 29 Conceptual understanding, basic fact recall, and procedural fluency are mutually supportive Few U.S. curricula provide sufficient practice with basic fact combinations and standard algorithms Understanding of core concepts is necessary to transfer skills Poor knowledge of core arithmetic concepts impedes learning of algebra
  • Slide 30
  • 30 National Math Panel Explicit Instruction The Task Group on Instructional Practices concluded that students with learning disabilities and other students with learning problems should receive some time on a regular basis with some explicit systematic instruction.
  • Slide 31
  • 31 Characteristics of Explicit Strategic Instruction Clear, consistent modeling of step-by-step strategies Careful control of task difficulty Purposeful sequencing of teaching and practice examples Specified procedures for providing corrective feedback

Carnine The Missouri Mathematics Program is an instructional practice with strong evidence of effectiveness from the Best Evidence Encyclopedia: http://www.bestevidence.org/ http://www.bestevidence.org/ The study is described in the book Active Mathematics Teaching by Thomas L. Good, Douglas A. Grouws, and Howard Ebmeier, published in 1983 by Longman, Inc.
  • Slide 33
  • 33 A Need for Coherence A focused, coherent progression of mathematics learning, with an emphasis on proficiency with key topics, should become the norm in elementary and middle school mathematics curricula. Any approach that continually revisits topics year after year without closure is to be avoided. National Math Panel Report, P. 20-23
