Cognitively Guided Instruction
At St. Mark School, we use the Cognitively Guided Instruction approach for math. As stated on the Heinemann website, “Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a student-centered approach to teaching math. It starts with what your students already know and builds on their natural number sense and intuitive approaches to problem solving. Rather than a math program or curriculum, CGI is a way of listening to students, asking smart questions, and engaging with their thinking—all with the goal of uncovering and expanding every student’s mathematical understanding.”
