Primary Mathematics Workshops
Do you want your school’s mathematical instruction to go beyond basic skills and knowledge?
Do you want your students to gain a lasting, transferable understanding of mathematics?
If you're looking for students to develop a deep, retained understanding of mathematics, these workshops are for you!
Learn how to move mathematical instruction from skills and processes to deep conceptual understanding and transfer.
Structure mathematical inquiries in the classroom, giving shape to units of inquiry and creating equity so that all children feel appropriately challenged and successful.
Example workshops
Each workshop is custom-designed to meet your needs, blending theory with practical, hands-on learning for all learning styles. Take a look at some example workshops below.
My mathematics workshop empowers teachers to move beyond skills and processes to a concept-based approach, focusing on big ideas that foster lasting understanding. Educators gain the tools and insights needed to shift from procedural teaching to inspiring deeper comprehension in students. This workshop explores how to structure mathematical inquiries, showing teachers how concepts drive meaningful engagement and enduring knowledge. Through hands-on activities and reflective discussions, participants leave equipped to create learning experiences that encourage students to think critically, discover patterns, and build confidence as young mathematicians.
