Join us this summer for Math Recovery Training! This hands-on training will deepen teachers' practice to better assess students' mathematical thinking and provide innovative, targeted teaching strategies for success. Math Recovery is not a curriculum, but rather designed to help teachers use their curriculum more effectively, and to analyze and modify instructional tasks. Course I will cover early numeracy development - including verbal, symbolic and quantitative understanding – and development of addition and subtraction strategies. Course 2 will extend teacher knowledge of conceptual place value, multi-digit addition and subtraction, and early multiplication and division. Registration deadlines are in June, so sign up today!
