The Standards for Mathematical Practice are an integral part of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and provide expertise that educators should try to develop in their learners at all grade levels. The overarching goal is to develop student practitioners of mathematics; the mathematics practice standards were developed to assist educators in this task. Engaging Students in Math Practices provides an in-depth look at the eight mathematics practice standards and allows teachers to explore ways to implement each standard in the classroom while aligning their practice with the CCSS.
