Mathematics content is highly compressed in the early grades. Recent research links difficulties with mathematics proficiency to concerns with acquiring early numeracy skills. However, students who are provided a strong foundation in early numeracy have increased likelihood of later success in mathematics applications in school and work. In this presentation, evidence-based practices (EBPs) will be highlighted and demonstrated across mathematical progressions.

The mismatch of intervention and need is often what causes our students to struggle with actualizing growth and positive student outcomes. Guest, Dr. Amanda VanDerHeyden helps us understand matching intervention to students’ needs.

This video demonstrates two ways to draw area models to show multiplication.

This video demonstrates the use of an area model and manipulatives to multiply fractions.

With so many math concepts and procedures to teach in mathematics and such a short amount of time, we need to consider how to get the most out of our instruction. Dr. Robin Codding helps us to understand how to think differently about our math content to achieve proficiency with our students
