Common Core Mathematics Standards and Implementing Digital Technologies

Practicing and research mathematics educators offer conceptual and empirical perspectives on the early phases of implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, both the Grade Level Content Standards and the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice. They cover frameworks and conceptual orientations, content and context, vignettes and cases, and innovative approaches to teacher education and professional development. Among specific topics are supporting mathematical communication through technology, the design and implementation of computational modeling for learning mathematical concepts, supporting pattern exploration and algebraic reasoning through the use of spreadsheets, supporting teachers' instrumental genesis with dynamic mathematical software, and using digital resources to support elementary school teachers who are implementing the Standards.

Edited by an associate professor of Elementary Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, this work brings 25 chapters by educators and scholars that provide context, case studies, and innovative approaches to educational standards in mathematics and describe how communication technologies can support the implementation of the Common Core. [...] Useful for school administrators and teachers of mathematics interested in gaining a better understanding between implementing digital technologies while adhering to the Common Core Standards.
