Effective Math Word Problem Instruction - Dos and Don’ts
Wednesday September 11, 2024 8:00am - 9:10am CDT
Do your students struggle with math word problem solving? If you said yes, you are not alone. Learn about specific math word problem-solving instruction strategies rooted in research from various practice guides from the Institute of Education Sciences. We will also address the importance of establishing a common word problem solving attack strategy across all grade levels within a district to ensure alignment and cohesion.

Supporting Retention in the Mathematics Classroom: Leveraging the Power of Interleaved Practice
Wednesday September 11, 2024 8:00am - 9:10am CDT
Join us for a dynamic and interactive professional development session designed exclusively for mathematics teachers of all levels. This session is focused on equipping educators with a powerful retention strategy to support students’ long-term retention of essential mathematical concepts and skills throughout the academic year. During this session, participants will delve into the cognitive processes involved in information retention, gaining a deeper understanding of specific techniques that can effectively support long-term retention of information.
By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of the interleaving practice strategy and its practical application in the mathematics classroom. Armed with practical activities and a solid grasp of the underlying cognitive processes, teachers will be well-prepared to foster durable learning through the interleaved practice technique.
 Grades K-12; general and special education teachers; math supervisors and building administrators.

Mathematical Fluency across the Grades
Wednesday September 11, 2024 11:00am - 12:10pm CDT
Mathematics is a hierarchical subject, the ability to learn more advanced concepts or procedures is predictable based on prior learning. In order to prepare students and ensure success with future math content, educators must ensure that fluency is achieved in what will someday become a prerequisite skill.  For example, students that are fluent with whole numbers will be able to generalize and adapt that knowledge to rational numbers. This session will dig deeply into the importance of fluency, and teachers will walk away with instructional strategies to support building fluency in their classrooms.

Scaffolding Algebraic Reasoning: Leveraging the Power of the Worked Solution Strategy
Wednesday September 11, 2024 11:00am - 12:10pm CDT
Join us for an engaging and interactive professional development session tailored exclusively for middle and high school algebra teachers. This intensive session focuses on equipping educators with a proven strategy, known as the Worked Solution Strategy, to effectively support and enhance algebraic reasoning skills among students. During this session, participants will dive deep into the cognitive processes involved in mathematical reasoning, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how the Worked Solution Strategy can empower students to think critically and problem-solve in algebra and geometry.
By the end of this session, participants will have a solid understanding of the Worked Solution Strategy and its application across middle and high school mathematics topics. Equipped with a deep understanding of the cognitive processes involved in mathematical reasoning, teachers will be empowered to facilitate meaningful learning experiences that nurture critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Grades 6-12; general and special education teachers; math supervisors and building administrators.

Kansas Math Project: Enriching teachers' professional development, facilitating learning for all students, and ensuring mathematics instruction is cohesive from Pre-K through Algebra 2
Wednesday September 11, 2024 1:30pm - 2:40pm CDT
Do you want to know how the Kansas Math Project can be beneficial to your district and your teachers? In this session, we will provide you with an overview of the Kansas Math Project (KMP), which offers researchers-based teaching strategies and deepens teachers' understanding of math content. The project is a result of collaboration between the Kansas Department of Education, Kansas MTSS & Alignment, Dr. Sarah Powell, and Dr. Bradley Witzel, as well as educators across Kansas who provided feedback and review during the design phase. Attend this session to receive an overview of the project and information regarding how you can participate.

Supporting Students’ Acquisition of Fractions Computation using a Concrete-Representation-Abstract (CRA) Model
Wednesday September 11, 2024 1:30pm - 2:40pm CDT
Teaching anything related to fractions is difficult, especially when students have not built fluency with whole numbers. This means that extra support may be necessary to help students acquire the concepts and procedures needed to work with fractions. The Concrete-Representation-Abstract (CRA) sequence of instruction allows educators to preplan scaffolded supports that guide students towards abstract understanding during the acquisition stage of learning.  This session will provide teachers with an explicit, set-based model for computing with fractions that they can use during core instruction or intervention to support students’ learning.

The Right Math Instruction at the Right Time!
Wednesday September 11, 2024 3:00pm - 4:10pm CDT
Teaching well and increasing student achievement is not simply about finding good instructional practices. We must apply the right strategies at the right time, or students will not grow. The Instructional Hierarchy gives us a framework for understanding students’ learning as a progression and matching instructional practices to their unique needs at each stage. This session will introduce educators to the Instructional Hierarchy and how to match instructional strategies to increase mathematics achievement.
