In this 3-day intensive, educators will deepen their own content knowledge of multiplication and division. Sessions are designed to develop participants’ understanding of critical learning trajectories and the mathematical big ideas and strategies which comprise them. The essential role of mathematical models in supporting student thinking will also be explored.
Session 1: October 11, 2023

CTLE: 24 credits for all 3 days
PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE:
- mathematics as adult learners in order to deepen their understanding of what it means to ‘do’ mathematics.
- video case studies and transcripts that help ‘theory’ come to life.
- a range of rich tasks that can be used to support students’ development of big ideas and strategies.
- the role of models and learn how the NEW Virtual Bead String can be used as a tool to highlight students’ thinking.
AUDIENCE:
Grades 3-5 Educators (new teachers, special education teachers, coaches/ teachers new to the grade level/ band, and teachers seeking a content “refresher”). Participants will leave each day with follow up assignments/activities designed to give them an opportunity to solidify their learning through additional reading, reflection, and opportunities for real life, in-classroom applications.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEAVE WITH:
- a deeper understanding of the mathematical big ideas, strategies, and models in multiplication and division.
- several assessment tools and rich tasks to use with students.
- 1-year access to the Fundamentals Series: Multiplication & Division. This 6-webinar Learning On-Demand series allows participants to review and/or extend their learning at their own pace.
- access to the NEW Virtual Bead String APP and 9-part Learning On-Demand webinar series.
