SUMMER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
[Math]odology institutes are a unique opportunity for educators to expand and supplement their mathematical practices during the summer. Our programs provide opportunities for mathematical exploration as students as well as time to reflect on the learning process as practitioners thus understanding how to make impactful instructional decisions. During the institutes, educators encounter concepts from different mathematical strands and learn various techniques for delivery, questioning, and extensions of tasks aimed at enhancing the culture of the mathematics classroom.
Each session is different so be sure to explore the options to find the right one for you. Contact our team for questions about how our programs might meet your needs.

Developing Mathematical Roots at the Early Elementary Levels
July 17th-19th, 2023
In Person
Constructing the perfect scenario for your kindergarten students isn’t something that’s finished overnight. We’re committed to your success and that of your children with a heavy lift taken in three manageable parts.
We start on July 17, 2023, when we build the foundation. We’ll help you get started with a plan that’s been tested by accomplished teachers across North America and proven successful by measurable results from students. We’ll show you what a properly organized classroom looks like and how it maximizes your efficiency and positively impacts your students. In addition, we’ll cover every angle from the best materials to the best practices in what we’re sure will be a model classroom for your school.
In addition, we’ll turn our attention to our first content area of numbers and how it develops. You’ll learn our deeply researched methods of building concepts, checking for student understanding, how to revisit, and plan to revisit ideas that students may not grasp. We have a plan for a child who struggles to keep up and how we assess that student and the entire classroom so that your long-term goals are met by building a student’s knowledge in a carefully constructed manner.
On July 18th, 2023 geometry and measurement take center stage in this crucial session. We’ll identify the big ideas, talk about how content builds off what we’ve already taught, and focus keenly on implementing those past ideas of numbers into strands. There are multiple extensions to the plan, and we’ll cover implementation and the benefits of incorporating them into the plan in order to take a deep dive into understanding with your students.
We’ll put the finishing touches to your plan on July 19th, 2023 when we will tackle the idea of setting foundations for addition and subtraction, offer a conceptual understanding of what the symbols represent, and how we start to build fluency within those operations.
In every session we’ve built time to discuss what you’re doing with the other teachers who join us and for you to learn from their successes and the ways in which they’ve overcome challenges.

Orientation to using think!Mathematics
August 14th-16th, 2023
Virtual
A curriculum is more for teachers than it is for pupils. If it cannot change, move, perturb, foremost a curriculum for teachers. If it has any effect on pupils, it will have it by virtue of having had an effect on teachers. (Bruner, 1960/1977, p. xv)
At [Math]odology our goal is to help teachers understand the role that think!Mathematics plays in supporting student learning. Research indicates that different uses of the curriculum lead to different opportunities for student and teacher learning. This summer, [Math]odology will assist teachers in examining curriculum resources and tools while investigating new approaches to delivering effective lessons.
Offered August 14-16, 2023
1- 4 p.m. EST
Target Audience: Grade 1-5 Math Teachers, Math Coaches, Math Coordinators, Teacher Leaders, Administrators

Dana Holland
Best workshop I've ever attended! So practical!
I loved exploring the activities through the "hands on approach" in groups. The use of correct language and vocabulary was informative and helpful. All presenters were approachable!
Loved it!

Jeanne Bowles
I loved the Operations Day. It's focused on thinking about the structures of addition and subtraction, "put together" ,"take apart" ,
"part-whole" and comparison models. It is so important for me as a teacher to understand this in building a strong foundation around these addition and subtraction.
Teaching to understand not just "do" the math!

Lysa Lytikainen
I feel rich with math sense and ideas and can't wait to open up this treasure box of discovery with my students!
My confidence around the concepts
I teach is at a new level!
