In Think Tank #1, we will explore the development of additive reasoning in grades 1-3. Each session will focus on:
- Assessing students (gathering data about their mathematical reasoning in a specific content area).
- Pooling of data to design small-group lessons to support children’s specific learning needs.
- Enacting the planned lessons.
- Reflecting on the teaching.
- Designing future lessons to support children’s on-going learning.
- Day 1: October 10, 2025
- Day 2: November 7, 2025
- Day 3: December 5, 2025
- Time: 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
- Location: PS 182Q
- Audience: Coaches & Teachers, Grades 1-3
- Price: 3-Day Series for $850 (Shop DoE) or $1,000 per person
PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE HOW TO:
- assess students to understand their additive reasoning.
- design lessons that best address the gaps in students’ thinking.
- use key pedagogical moves to improve math learning, communication, and social interactions in their classrooms.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEAVE WITH:
- a learning trajectory of big ideas and strategies necessary for additive reasoning.
- lessons, routines, and games they can use in their own work with teachers at their schools.
- a set of assessments that can help teachers work strategically with students and design lessons that meet their developmental needs.
