What Instructional Science Tells About How to Teach Math

Grounded in behavioral psychology and decades of research, instructional science provides a blueprint for how students actually acquire, retain, and generalize mathematical skills.

Watch this conversation between Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D. and Robin S. Codding, Ph.D. as they discuss how these scientific principles apply to classroom practice. You’ll learn:

• How pedagogy and instructional science differ
• How instructional science supports effective instruction
• Strategies to support skill acquisition that are grounded in instructional science
• How to move students from initial acquisition to the transfer of skills to solve novel problems
