This two-day session engages teachers in exploring strategies and tools to introduce students to algebraic reasoning including conceptual development of integer operations, solving equations, and connecting algebra to prior mathematics learning. Participants will also explore common misconceptions that students have related to graphing, slope, and functions.

Computational skills are foundational to students' mathematical learning. During this session, participants will investigate the development of addition and subtraction concepts in the early grades and examine how those foundational understandings extend to adding and subtracting fractions, integers, and polynomials. Participants will explore strategies for helping students recognize connections among these operations in order to build fluency, flexibility, and number sense.

Area models serve as a powerful visual representation of numerical relationships that can be applied from single digit multiplication in 3rd grade through multiplying polynomials in middle school and recognizing geometric patterns in high school. During this session, educators will explore the progression of standards to better understand how using area models can aide students in making connections between computational and algebraic skills
This session will explore how students develop understanding of multiplication and division concepts from the early grades through Algebra I. Participants will examine how ideas such as equal groups, arrays, proportional reasoning, and inverse relationships build across grade levels and connect to later algebraic thinking. Teachers will leave with a deeper understanding of the learning progression and strategies for supporting students in making meaningful mathematical connections.
From understanding numbers and operations in the elementary grades to using them for data representations in middle and high school, number lines are a versatile mathematical tool. This session will guide teachers through understanding the important structure of number lines, effective use as a model for computation, and as a tool for representing data.
Participants will explore how contextual problems are represented throughout the standards as they collaborate with others to engage in problem solving using Polya’s problem solving process. Teachers will come away with a cohesive understanding of how word problems progress across the curriculum and explore ways to make word problems more accessible to students at all grade levels.
Effective mathematics teaching requires educators to know and understand how the content, tools, and processes they teach fit within the broader picture of mathematics learning. During each session in this professional learning series, participants will gain insight into the development of these topics as they explore the standards across grades, engage in hands-on explorations, and discuss instructional strategies.
Learn how trauma-informed instructional practices can support student engagement and achievement in your classroom. This session provides educators with practical, brain-based strategies to reduce student anxiety and support confidence and resilience while learning math. We will explore how brain breaks, math games, and more can help students access their whole brain during mathematics instruction.
This Mathematical Concept Progression Guide is your quick reference to see the across-grade and within-grade connections among the mathematics standards for kindergarten through Algebra I.

In this one-day, in-person workshop, participants will engage with Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) materials to incoporate the history of American innovation and invention into STEM lessons, with an emphasis on Mississippi and local STEM histories. The workshop centers on hands-on practice using primary sources in instructional settings.
$20.00
This two-day session will engage teachers in exploring strategies and tools to introduce representations of fractions, including manipulatives, number lines, and visual diagrams.
