Course: Rigor
Purpose
Demonstrate a few different ways that rigor can look in a math classroom
Analyze the components of rigor to then go implement in different parts of the learning cycle
Recognize and value the complexity of planning for rigor
Add tools and strategies
that will encourage you to find ways to amp up the rigor during instruction and student practice
Do This If...
You are solid on the mathematical concepts and skills that are you teaching
You are consistent and comfortable at designing and facilitating the key components of a lesson plan.
Some of your students are on track to meet and exceed their growth and achievement goals.
You are frustrated with and confused by the lack of progress for the students that are not on track to meet their growth and achievement goals.
You are curious about rigor / rich math tasks.
How Will This Help Me Tomorrow?
Determine which students have not been engaged in rigorous learning activities.
Evaluate the math problems in upcoming lesson activities that are / are not rigorous
Reduce the quantity of math problems students are completing in class and increase the time engaged in rich and meaningful math problems.
