Precision is one of the Standards for Mathematical Practice in the Common Core. But precision isn't just for students—teachers must also be precise in their language. The ten "lies" we will expose in this session lead to misconceptions that hinder student understanding of mathematics and may be caused by teachers' unknowing use of imprecise language. Follow us to uncover the "truth."
