Realizing Rigor in the Mathematics Classroom

Rigor put within reach!

Rigor: The Common Core has made it policy—and this first-of-its-kind guide takes math teachers and leaders through the process of making it reality. Using the Proficiency Matrix as a framework, the authors offer proven strategies and practical tools for successful implementation of the CCSS mathematical practices—with rigor as a central objective. You’ll learn how to

• Define rigor in the context of each mathematical practice
• Identify and overcome potential issues, including differentiating instruction and using data
• Relate specific roles and goals for all stakeholders
• Use assessment tools to guide work and monitor progress
