Building Numeracy with Middle Grades 5-8 Students Course Description: *This KCM professional learning event is only available for 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th grade Kentucky math teachers or coaches.
We know that students develop their mathematical reasoning skills over time and at different rates- and that the past year has created instructional gaps due to the time available for math instruction in different pandemic teaching situations. This year-long, in-depth course provides teachers with information and materials to enable them to strengthen mathematics instruction by building from students’ current funds of knowledge. Participants will learn teaching strategies for helping students develop the more sophisticated reasoning needed for middle grades mathematics with the goal of improving student access to grade-level content.
