Sue McMillen, professor of mathematics, with Ellen Friedland and Pixita del Prado Hill, both associate professors of Elementary Education and Reading, presented “Supporting the Common Core through Mathematics-Literacy Checklists” at the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, April 9–12. In the session, participants explored two mathematics-literacy checklists designed to help teachers meet the Common Core. The checklists were developed with teacher input to serve as cognitive “safety nets” that ensure effective integration of appropriate strategies before, during, and after instruction.
