SUMMER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OPEN NOW!
[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.

Deep Dive into the World of Building Thinking Classrooms
with Sarah Schaefer and Peter Liljedahl
July 18th -19th, 2024
In Person
This exciting workshop is based on the research practices that author and researcher, Peter Liljedahl has included in his book Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC). Join Peter Liljedahl and Sarah Schaefer as they bring some of the key practices from BTC to life through this two day intensive workshop. You will walk away with practical knowledge that can be applied from the start of the year.
On Day 1, prepare for a full day of hands-on learning and exploration. In the morning, you'll engage in two non-curricular tasks designed to deepen your understanding of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC). Following these activities will be a comprehensive unpacking session delving into practices 1-10, which cover a wide range of essential skills and strategies.
After a well-deserved lunch break, get ready for an intensive afternoon session. We’ll guide you through a complete curricular lesson, focusing on the closing practices that tie everything together. Finally, you’ll learn how to effectively apply these practices to enhance your classroom culture and achieve your lesson objectives.
Day 2 kicks off with a stimulating morning session consisting of two curricular tasks. You will have another opportunity to walk through a full lesson, providing further hands-on experience in BTC.
In the afternoon, it'll be your time to shine as you take the reins and design your own full BTC lessons. Put your knowledge to the test and create engaging and impactful content that will captivate your students. Both Peter and Sarah will be there every step of the way, offering guidance and feedback to help refine your skills.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of BTC and gain practical knowledge that can be applied to your classroom from the start of the year. Spots are limited for this unique and personal experience. Reserve your spot now!

Developing Mathematical Roots at the Early Childhood Levels
with Sarah Schaefer Melissa Williams and Donna Lamonte
July 10th - 12th, 2024
In Person
Constructing the perfect scenario for your young mathematicians 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 10, 2024, 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.
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 plan for and 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 11th, 2024 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. We'll cover the benefits of incorporating the multiple extensions to the plan in order to provide a deep dive into understanding geometry and measurement with your students.
We’ll put the finishing touches to your plan on July 12th, 2024 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 in time for you to connect with each other to share and reflect on practices from successes and ways you have overcome challenges, creating a community of support beyond the workshop.

Orientation to using think!Mathematics
July 22nd - July 24th, 2024
Virtual
A curriculum is more for teachers than it is for pupils. If it cannot change, move, perturb, inform teachers, it will have no effect on those whom they teach. It must be first and 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, 1977).
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 July 22 - July 24, 2024
1- 4 p.m. EST
Target Audience: Grade 1-5 Math Teachers, Math Coaches, Math Coordinators, Teacher Leaders, Administrators

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!
