• Keeping records of professional work
• Adopting a tentative stance toward
practice
• Backing up claims with evidence and
providing reasoning
• Talking with respect yet engaging in
critical analysis of teachers and
students portrayed in video or cases.

Findings from Research

What is the best estimate of 12/13 + 7/8?


– More than 1/2 U.S. 8th graders chose
19 or 21

Solve 4 + .3 = ?
