Bridging Understanding:
Connecting Representations in K-8 Mathematics
In this interactive session, we'll explore the power of using multiple representations—physical, visual, symbolic, verbal, and contextual—to deepen student understanding of K-5 mathematics. Participants will learn strategies for effectively using and connecting these representations as tools to observe and assess student thinking, identify misconceptions, and guide instruction. Through hands-on activities and guiding questions, teachers will gain practical tools for fostering a more comprehensive mathematical understanding in their classrooms.

Using Progressions and Learning Trajectories
to Guide Intervention in Multiplication and Division
Explore a mathematical task and examine where multiplication and division concepts and skills fall in standards and in research on how children develop mathematical understanding.
See how learning progressions and learning trajectories are each uniquely helpful in planning for and providing mathematics intervention for students in the elementary grades.

Using Progressions and Learning Trajectories to Guide Intervention in Addition and Subtraction
This session will focus on the progression of content standards and the pathways students may take to become proficient in addition and subtraction. We will engage in a mathematical task involving addition and subtraction, unpack the concepts and skills used in the task, and examine where those concepts and skills fall in the standards as well as in the research on how children develop mathematical understanding. We will examine both learning progressions and learning trajectories focusing on how they each are uniquely helpful in planning for and providing mathematics intervention for students in the early grades.
