Five Components of Equitable and Engaging Teaching for All Students

• planning around big ideas

• using open and engaging tasks

• teaching for social justice

• inviting student questions and conjectures

• prioritizing reasoning and justification

Program Design Principles

• doing before discussing

• access for all students

• ease of use for teachers and students

Problems (tasks which students do not already have the tools to solve) precede teaching of the focal mathematics necessitated by the problem.

Big Ideas

Problems (tasks which students do not already have the tools to solve) precede teaching of the focal mathematics necessitated by the problem.

Students are

• doers 
  (applying, observing, analyzing)

• knowers 
  (learning, understanding, revising)

• sense makers 
  (connecting, extending, reinforcing)
