This presentation contains example activities demonstrating how we help teachers strengthen each skill required in the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice in their students.

1) Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.‘Card tricks’ from Working with parentheses2) Reason abstractly and quantitatively.’Boardworks Bank’ from Geometric sequences3) Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.’Proofs using factoring’ from Factoring quadratics4) Model with mathematics.‘New York house prices’ from Simple inequalities5) Use appropriate tools strategically.‘Correlation coefficients’ from Measuring correlation6) Attend to precision.‘Inequalities language’ from Graphing inequalities in one variable7) Look for and make use of structure.‘Matching quadratic expressions’ from Factoring quadratics8) Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.‘A formula for the nth term’ from Arithmetic sequences
