ABSTRACT
Over the last two decades, significant attention has been given to mathematics teaching and learning as demonstrated by national reform models (e.g. NCTM standards), and national standards changes (e.g. Common Core Standards). This attention generated increased pressure to improve mathematics teaching and learning. As a result, mathematics teacher educators came to identify a set of practices referred to as High Leverage Teaching Practices (HLTP), teaching behaviors that researchers believe improve the teaching and indirectly the learning of mathematics. While there are indications that there is a link between the use of these teaching strategies in mathematics and student achievement, …
