Being Strategic with Learning Strategies The learners who enter our classrooms are diverse in almost every way. With the adoption of Common Core Mathematics Standards and the use of Problem Based Learning in our practice, we are tasked with developing students critical thinking skills in many ways, as well as teaching students how to find out information that is relevant for problem solving.
