Webinar Series Sessions & Descriptions for K-5 Teachers:
Webinar Series Sessions & Descriptions for K-5 Teachers:
Session 1: Conceptual Understanding, Contextual Application, and Evidence of Learning
Session 1: Conceptual Understanding, Contextual Application, and Evidence of Learning
Students with a deep understanding of math understand how to solve problems, what strategies they can use, and can explain the “why” behind their solution. Through intentional instruction that focuses on conceptual understanding, evidence of learning, and problem solving in authentic, real-world contexts, students will achieve at high levels both within and beyond elementary school.
(K-2) This session is designed to:
Clarify the importance of using math content as a way to help students make sense of the world around them.
Connect concrete and abstract representations to help students deepen their understanding and efficiency when solving problems.
Develop teacher clarity regarding the progression of learning expectations within and across grade levels.
(3-5) This session is designed to:
Clarify the meaning of all four operations for students in grades 3-5
Provide a coherent approach to embedding math property work (commutative, associative, and distributive) consistently across grade levels
Empowering teachers to develop an approach to instruction that considers conceptual understanding and contextual problem solving.
Session 2: Developing Number Sense and Procedural Fluency
Session 2: Developing Number Sense and Procedural Fluency
Developing a deep understanding of place value and how to utilize this knowledge when problem-solving is a critical component of math instruction for all elementary educators. Ensuring the alignment of a variety of representations and strategies across grade levels will allow students to apply and extend their knowledge throughout their elementary experience.
(K-2) This session is designed to:
Clarify the meaning of procedural fluency and offer practical suggestions on how to embed it into daily math instruction
Align and connect concrete and abstract math representations and strategies so teachers can be responsive to the wide range of student needs.
Develop teacher clarity regarding the importance of having students consider reasonableness and explain their thinking, so students understand that math is about more than simply arriving at the correct answer.
(3-5) This session is designed to:
Clarify the meaning of procedural fluency and offer practical suggestions on how to embed it into daily math instruction
Align and connect concrete and abstract math representations and strategies so teachers can be responsive to the wide range of student needs.
Develop teacher clarity regarding the progression of place value knowledge in a manner that enables students to connect prior knowledge to new learning when performing all four operations with decimals.
K-2: September 30, 2025, 3:30 PM
On-demand registration available soon.
3-5: September 30, 2025, 5:00 PM
On-demand registration available soon.
Session 3 (K-2 Only) : Developing Strong Foundations in Geometry, Measurement, and Data Reasoning for Primary Students
Session 3 (K-2 Only) : Developing Strong Foundations in Geometry, Measurement, and Data Reasoning for Primary Students
While students must learn their essential standards to maximize their success moving forward, we must recognize that these are not the only content that should be taught. Particularly for the youngest learners, providing ample experiences with measurement, data, and geometry focus standards can not only improve summative student outcomes, but also strengthen their understanding of related math concepts that are often considered more critical.
This session is designed to:
Clarify the progression of learning from Kindergarten through second grade in the Measurement and Data and Geometry standard Domains
Connect these standards to essential learning both within students' current grade levels, as well as concepts and skills to come.
Simplify how this learning can be manageably addressed and embedded in math instruction on a frequent basis rather than housed in a singular unit of instruction.

Session 3 (3-5 Only): Making Fractions Accessible and Meaningful to Intermediate Students
Session 3 (3-5 Only): Making Fractions Accessible and Meaningful to Intermediate Students
Many teachers find that fractions can be particularly challenging for many students in grades 3-5. However, if students possess clarity related to fraction vocabulary and genuinely understand the meaning of previously learned math operations, fractions become far more intuitive and accessible.
This session is designed to:
Clarify various math vocabulary that is critical to understanding fractions
Demonstrate the value of concrete representations to build conceptual understanding of fractions when problem-solving
Develop teacher clarity regarding the importance of having students consider reasonableness and explain their thinking
December 15, 2025 5:00 PM PST/ 6:00PM MST
Session 4: Improving Teaching and Learning by Making the Math Practices Actionable
Session 4: Improving Teaching and Learning by Making the Math Practices Actionable
While computation and fluency skills are important components of being an effective mathematician, educators are truly striving for students to develop a deeper understanding of the content. If we want students to make sense of mathematics, we must give them ample opportunity to collectively share and refine their current understanding.
(K-2) and (3-5) This session is designed to:
Gain shared clarity around the different responsibilities of teachers and students in a math classroom
Examine the roles of prompts, cues, and different question types
Review the importance of identifying intended learning goals beyond arriving at the correct solution
K-2: January 12, 2026 3:30PM PST / 4:30PM MST
3-5: January 12, 2026 5:00PM PST / 6:00PM MST
