New Videos from NCTM Address Crucial Math Skills

screenshot-www nctm org 2015-05-25 18-01-00The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Hunt Institute recently collaborated on the production of a video series to enhance understanding of the mathematics skills students need to succeed in college, life and careers.

Beginning with mathematics in the primary grades, “Math Voices: Educators and Mathematicians Talk About College and Career Ready Standards and Improving Mathematics Teaching and Learning” addresses the importance of building a solid foundation for Algebra that includes numbers and operations, ratios, and proportions as well as preparation for Calculus and other postsecondary mathematics coursework.

The videos include interviews with elementary classroom teachers, secondary mathematics teachers, instructional leaders and coaches, principals, parent leaders, national mathematics experts, and college mathematics professors and researchers, in addition to excerpts from several classrooms in Baltimore County and Howard County, Maryland and Boston, Massachusetts.

The videos are available on both the NCTM site as well as the Hunt Institute’s Youtube site.  They can be accessed here:  NCTM website (http://www.nctm.org/Standards-and-Positions/Common-Core-State-Standards/Teaching-and-Learning-Mathematics-with-the-Common-Core/)

and The Hunt Institute youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpJzuRcWnt4Vw3-7Sp6X8slx3lQoUR-T7)
