In this article you will learn:

That for students to be successful they need to have ownership of their learning. In other words, they must be able to self-direct, self-evaluate, self-reflect, and self-control their own learning.
A parent’s and caregiver’s role is not to be the teacher but to motivate their child to clearly know what they are learning, how they are learning it, and how well they are learning it. In other words, their role is to support their child in taking ownership of their learning.
How to use specially designed resources and tools to support student ownership at home.

Why mathematics standards were intentionally designed with two types: Standards for Mathematical Content and Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Building metacognition in math can be achieved when teachers understand and integrate the content and practice standards, determine the grade-level progressions of the practice standards, and support students to use these practices on a daily basis through direct conversations about math.
It is imperative that we teach our students to think like mathematicians by asking questions that foster metacognition and teach them to speak like mathematicians when making ownership statements that demonstrate that they are actively integrating both cognitive and metacognitive skills, both mathematical content and mathematical practice.

Language plays a critical role in learning mathematics because students are expected to use specialized vocabulary.
The teacher’s role is to show students how to articulate their thinking using specialized vocabulary in mathematics.
It is imperative that we teach our students to think like mathematicians by asking questions that foster metacognition and teach them to speak like mathematicians when making ownership statements that demonstrate that they are actively integrating both cognitive and metacognitive skills, both mathematical content and mathematical practice.

Providing students with questions to foster metacognition helps them expand their thinking, develop metacognitive skills, and become more aware of their own strengths and weaknesses.
The Questions to Foster Metacognition can be thought of as “what teachers should be asking”—or, more accurately, ideas teachers can use to support students’ metacognition in grade appropriate ways. These questions should be modeled by the teacher and then gradually handed over to the students themselves.
It is imperative that we teach our students to think like mathematicians by asking questions that foster metacognition and teach them to speak like mathematicians when making ownership statements that demonstrate that they are actively integrating both cognitive and metacognitive skills, both mathematical content and mathematical practice.
