Developing Conceptual Understanding and Procedural Fluency

As each unit progresses, students are systematically introduced to representations, contexts, concepts, language, and notation. As their learning progresses, they make connections between different representations and strategies to consolidate their conceptual understanding.

They see and understand more efficient methods of solving problems to support the shift toward procedural fluency. The distributed practice problems give students ongoing practice, which also supports developing procedural proficiency.

Applying Math to the Real World

Students have opportunities to make connections to real-world contexts throughout the materials. Carefully chosen anchor contexts are used to motivate new mathematical concepts, and students have many opportunities to make connections between contexts and the concepts they are learning.
