Professional Learning with Mathematical Minds

---

You’ve administered the math screener.
You have the data.

Now what?

This interactive professional learning session helps educators move beyond identifying gaps to designing responsive, asset-based next steps for instruction. Grounded in research and classroom practice, this session explores how foundational number concepts — subitizing, unitizing, and relational thinking — shape mathematical access and identity.

Participants will:

• Translate screener data into actionable instructional moves
• Engage in collaborative task experiences connected to addition and subtraction
• Examine research-based routines that strengthen conceptual understanding
• Create plans for immediate classroom implementation

This session centers growth over deficit and positions students as capable mathematical thinkers.

Format Options:
✔ 2-hour virtual session
✔ 2-hour in-person session
✔ K–2 and 3–5 grade band options

Fact fluency is more than memorization.

In this engaging and practical workshop, educators explore how fact fluency develops through understanding, reasoning, and strategic thinking.

Participants will:

• Examine what fact fluency is — and what it is not
• Learn to use interview-based assessments to uncover student thinking
• Explore developmental fact progressions
• Plan instructional next steps aligned to evidence
  

Teachers leave with:

• Fact interview tools
• Class data tracking sheets
• Structured practice routines
• Research-aligned fluency strategies
  

Fluency becomes a pathway to confidence — not a race against the clock.

Format Options:
✔ 2-hour virtual session
✔ 2-hour in-person session
✔ K–2 and 3–5 grade band options

Learning is creative, imperfect, and beautifully human.

This session supports educators in building classrooms where students:

• Engage in high-cognitive-demand tasks
• Collaborate meaningfully
• Experience productive struggle
• See themselves as capable mathematicians
  

Participants will:

• Experience thinking-focused task structures
• Explore facilitation moves that increase discourse
• Identify shifts that elevate student ownership
• Plan for immediate classroom application
  

This session is ideal for schools ready to deepen instructional practice and strengthen student reasoning.

Format Options:
✔ 2-hour overview (virtual or in person)
✔ 4-hour immersive in-person workshop (recommended for deeper implementation)
✔ K–2 and 3–5 grade band options
