Illustrative Mathematics 6–8 A Middle School Math Curriculum
The Power of Problem-Based Instruction
Students learn best when they solve problems. Decades of research show that traditional models of direct instruction and follow-up practice are flawed. Students tend to forget procedural skills and do not develop strategies for tackling non-routine problems or engage in productive struggle.
Our problem-based curriculum designed to address content and practice standards to foster learning for all. Students are encouraged to take an active role to see what they can figure out before having things explained or being told what to do. Teachers can shift their instruction and facilitate student learning with high-leverage routines that guide them in understanding and making connections between concepts and procedures.
