Transform mathematics instruction with the comprehensive mathematical competencies (CMC) framework—a research-based model that integrates seven essential competencies: conceptual and procedural integration, problem solving, logical reasoning, communication, tool use, pattern recognition, and student engagement. Through practical classroom strategies and real-world examples, create learning environments where students build deep mathematical proficiency through meaningful, connected experiences.

K–12 teachers can use this book to:

Implement the seven mathematical competencies through detailed curriculum, planning, instruction, and assessment strategies

Move beyond isolated skill practice to develop integrated mathematical understanding and proficiency

Create classroom environments that foster productive engagement and mathematical confidence

Apply research-based approaches that connect conceptual understanding with procedural fluency

Design meaningful learning experiences that develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
