Scientifically Based Research and Effective Mathematics Instruction
All students can and should be proficient in mathematics.
Mathematical proficiency has five intertwined strands:
Understanding mathematics
Computing fluently
Applying concepts to solve problems
Reasoning logically
Engaging with mathematics - seeing it as sensible, useful and doable.
For all students to become mathematically proficient, major changes must be made in instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system.
