The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) today (July 25) is launching Instructional Tips, a new resource designed to help educators implement the evidence-based recommendations from its Educator’s Practice Guides. The first Instructional Tips publication accompanies the practice guide, Improving Mathematical Problem Solving in Grades 4 Through 8. This practice guide provides five recommendations for improving students’ mathematical problem solving skills. The publications released today are:
- Instructional Tips Based on the Educator’s Practice Guide: This eight-page set of instructional tips translates practice guide recommendations into actions and approaches that educators can use in their classrooms.
- Summary of Evidence for Instructional Tips Based on the Educator’s Practice Guide: This summary describes the research evidence that supports the classroom approaches included in the Instructional Tips.
Visit whatworks.ed.gov today to download these supplemental resources along with the full Improving Mathematical Problem Solving practice guide and see more WWC math reports. For the latest WWC news, follow the WWC on Twitter and Facebook.
