Building Strong Foundations: Advancing Addition and Subtraction Skills for K-3 Learners
Friday February 28, 2025 9:30am - 10:45am CST
Join us for a math session designed specifically for K-3 educators focused on enhancing students' addition and subtraction understanding. This session is dedicated to equipping K-3 teachers with practical strategies to support and extend learners at all levels of proficiency. We will delve into the progression of counting and base ten concepts, examining student work and aligning our approaches with educational standards.
During this session, we will explore:
  • The foundational stages of counting and understanding base ten.
  • Effective methods to support and challenge students based on their current understanding of addition and subtraction.
  • How to interpret and utilize student work to guide instructional decisions.
  • Techniques to align classroom practices with relevant standards to ensure comprehensive learning.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the mathematical progression in early elementary grades and a toolkit of actionable ideas to foster and extend mathematical skills in their students. Whether you're looking to support struggling learners or challenge advanced students, this session offers valuable insights and resources for every educator aiming to build strong arithmetic foundations.

Session Objectives:
  • Look at student work to develop an understanding of the progression of addition and subtraction 
  • Use a planning tool (Forecasting Guide) to plan lessons to reach all learners in a student centered way

Picture Books as Complex Text, Grades PreK-3
Friday February 28, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm CST
In this book-rich session, participants will experience the advanced messages that illustrations send in picture books. We will explore using observation and visual literacy, the physicality and structures of children’s picture books and the impact these structures support instructional practice and intriguing read alouds. We will take a purposeful, productive and thoughtful adventure in picture books to better understand the advanced comprehension implications illustrations convey that words may not reveal to the reader. This session supports a myriad of ELA Standards.
