Academics / Eight Mathematical Practices
Explanation of the Eight Mathematical Practices The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Council’s report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one’s own efficacy). But really.

Functional Reading Tasks and IEP Goals - Autism Classroom Resources
Functional reading skills are critical for students on the spectrum and other disabilities. Reading is something that needs to be used and even students who are not book readers can often learn single sight words that can impact their independence in their communities. We need to make sure that our students have the ability to function as independently as possible and that includes being able to read signs, grocery ads, words on the job and words on menus. The Thanksgiving Menu Math that I talked about in an earlier post is an example of a task that includes both math and some functional reading.
