This  3-day workshop focuses K-2 teachers on ways to help children develop understanding and competence with counting, number relationships, addition, subtraction, and place value.  

Participants engage in activities that provide children with the appropriate practice with these concepts while learning how to select and introduce activities and materials to help students develop an understanding of mathematical concepts. Assessing students’ understanding is addressed throughout the course. Participants also learn to create a positive learning environment in their classrooms.

All participants will receive:
