Enabling Students to Build Math Ideas and Concepts

Teaching Progressions

The Teaching Progressions show the research-based teaching approaches I developed in classrooms in the Children’s Math Worlds Research Project and then used in the Math Expressions program. These Teaching Progressions can help people using any program understand more deeply how visual supports support math teaching and learning and can enable viewers to see the progressions of math teaching and learning in action. I organized these Teaching Progressions by math topic using the topics in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and explain the progression of the standards for each math topic. This organization fits other high-level state standards and so can be used by anyone. My research was supported by the National Science Foundation and so anyone can use any ideas in these progressions because they are public domain.
