K-2 is a critical time for math learners. This session supports teachers and leaders with key early numeracy content by viewing videos of student thinking in the domain of addition and subtraction and number words and numerals. Interview assessment strategies are examined to ensure that teachers identify knowledge each student has in order to build on it. Key instructional techniques like distancing the setting will be examined to ensure students are moving forward in their understanding in a robust manner.
Understanding (or not understanding) place value will follow students along their math journey. Participants will explore the K-2 standards progression while learning ways to guide students to reason about numbers. We will share ways to elicit student thinking to deepen conceptual understanding and avoid common misconceptions. Learn how we have used routines, centers, counting collections, thinking classroom tasks, and assessments to support students to reason and reflect about place value.
