Introduction
Teachers and administrators create a continuous improvement culture and share leadership to build a coherent math program that promotes student-led learning. This, in turn, creates a culture that supports all students in learning the mathematical reasoning and procedural skills needed to design creative solutions to complex problems.

Problem solving focus
- Supports students in becoming expert problem solvers and mathematical thinkers through CCSS Math Practices.
- Students engage in worthwhile mathematical tasks that have multiple solution pathways.
Students become self-regulated learners and mathematical thinkers by:
- Dialoguing around questions and ideas that emerge from student’s thinking & monitoring.
- Figure out their own possible misconceptions and seek solutions.
- Use procedural & reasoning question prompts and teachers’ purposeful questions to chose an appropriate solution pathway and strengthen their reasoning for their solution pathways.
