In each session, we will explore a numeracy brief focus topic and engage in hands-on applications and modeling. We will examine lesson planning, analyze sample student work, and strategize implementation planning across grade levels. We will close each session with reflections and explore next steps to support best practices for our sessions' focus topic.
🔹 Day 1 Focus: Number Sense & Counting
• Number Sense development through the grades
• Counting & Properties
• Misconceptions
🔹 Day 2 Focus: Number Relationships & Early Algebraic Thinking
• Building fluency with flexible thinking
• Early patterns→ algebra foundations
🔹 Day 3 Focus: Geometry & Measurement in Early Grades
• 2D & 3D shapes- describing & classifying
• Measurement (length, time, capacity)
🔹 Day 4 Focus: Formative Assessment & Numeracy Progress Monitoring
• Using observation and anecdotal notes as data
• Growth over time: What does progress look like?
• Performance assessment
