It is way more fun for you and your students to be and feel effective. Come to this day-long professional development to develop your chops as you support middle and high school aged students. Morning will be all grade levels as we address a simple routine that will develop critical aspects of number sense and that can make a huge difference in just one year.

In the afternoon we will break out into Middle school/High school. Middle school will focus on games and routines that build understanding of fractional ideas across number systems. You will learn how to leverage Whole number understanding to build rational number reasoning. High school will focus on teaching linear algebra conceptually and in a way that makes sense to students. They CAN pass the Math 1 assessment.
