Mathematics Teaching Reimagined: Seven Competencies to Foster Robust Student Learning and Engagement

Transform mathematics instruction with the comprehensive mathematical competencies (CMC) framework—a research-based model that integrates seven essential competencies: conceptual and procedural integration, problem solving, logical reasoning, communication, tool use, pattern recognition and student engagement. Through practical classroom strategies and real-world examples, create learning environments where students build deep mathematical proficiency through meaningful, connected experiences.

K–12 teachers can use this book to:

• Implement the seven mathematical competencies through detailed curriculum, planning, instruction and assessment strategies.
• Move beyond isolated skill practice to develop integrated mathematical understanding and proficiency.
• Create classroom environments that foster productive engagement and mathematical confidence.
• Apply research-based approaches that connect conceptual understanding with procedural fluency.
• Design meaningful learning experiences that develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
