• exploring the integration of the five strands in the mathematics curriculum
•  exploring the central role of mathematical process expectations and embedding them in instruction
• teaching through problem solving that utilizes multiple entry points that allow for a variety of solutions
•  understanding and implementing formative and summative assessment
