KCM HUB COLLECTIONS

Each collection features a handpicked selection of posts centered around a particular topic or big idea. Choose one of our Hub Collections below to get started!

• Standards for Mathematical Practices
  The Standards for Mathematical Practices (SMPs) span all grades of mathematical instruction and describe what it means to do mathematics. Learn more about the Practices through our series of Spotlight Videos, then see students and teachers using the SMPs in Reel Classrooms.
  
  
• Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices
  When the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) published Principles to Actions in 2014, they identified eight Effective Math Teaching Practices (EMTPs) to help teachers design and deliver engaging and meaningful mathematical experiences. Learn more about these practices through a series of Spotlight Videos, or take a deeper dive with Explorations.
  
  
• Developing Fluency COMING SOON
  Developing procedural fluency is a cornerstone of the Kentucky Academic Standards. But what does fluency mean? Learn more about fluency from the expert - Dr. Jennifer Bay-Williams, then explore several Reel Classrooms were fluency is being developed!
  
  
• Mathematical Dispositions COMING SOON
  Productive mathematical dispositions help students see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile while fostering confidence in their ability to engage with mathematical ideas. These dispositions not only influence how students approach problem-solving but also shape their willingness to take risks, persist through challenges, and recognize their own mathematical strengths. Learn more about the productive dispositions, and how to foster them in your classroom, in our series of Spotlight Videos with Dr. Jonathan Thomas.
  
  
• Instructional Routines
  Instructional Routines provide a pre-established structure for engaging with a mathematical task. When both students and teachers know and can anticipate the steps of a routine, attention can be fully focused on mathematical exploration and reasoning. Visit this collection to explore some of our favorite instructional routines and see them in action in Reel Classrooms!
