The Math Pact addresses the critical need for instructional coherence by creating consistent mathematical language, notation, and teaching practices. In this session, we explore the elimination of language and rules that expire and instead investigate developing generalizations that support algebraic thinking and problem-solving. The Math Pact ensures all educators—including content teachers, special education staff, administrators, and interventionists—work collaboratively to provide every student with mathematically sound, consistent learning experiences.
Implementation of the Math Pact creates coherence and consistency across grade levels by establishing shared language, notation, representations, and teaching practices to support all students’ mathematical success. We explore the elimination of language and rules that expire and instead investigate developing generalizations through high-quality, standards-aligned instruction. The Math Pact engages all stakeholders—including teachers, coaches, administrators, families, and paraprofessionals—in building a unified mathematical foundation ensuring every student develops deep conceptual understanding.
