The elementary math series will focus on elementary level (K-6) mathematics broad and specific foundational content. This will prepare the elementary teacher with skills and tools to approach teaching the major elementary level math topics with confidence. The session will focus on strategies to engage students in learning math, how to find, critically examine, and infuse outside mathematics resources, and how to teach specific math content to students in a way that promotes conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. The session will include a brief instructional review of the math content for teachers, review of current state standards and expectations, and approaches to teaching the specific topic content to students. Participants can elect to attend all three sessions in the series, or to attend just one or two. Participants do not need to attend the sessions in any specific order.
