Based on the current research and findings from the National Mathematics Advisory Panel, the National Research Council and other prominent mathematics researchers, the CORE Math Academy focuses on the critical topics that pose challenges for many students, particularly those who are behind in mathematics achievement. While each Math Academy session is dedicated to a discrete topic, it is recommended but not required that all five sessions be included in a robust professional development plan. Each topic below requires a full-day session but may be taken in half-day increments.

Participant Outcomes

  • Understand evidence-based practices for improving student proficiency in selected topics.
  • Understand math concepts and the connections between concepts and procedures.
  • Recognize and resolve student misconceptions.
  • Identify mathematical language and how to develop its use in students.
  • Understand the use of a mathematical discourse to promote engagement and deep processing.
  • Learn effective practices for connecting visual models to numerical representations through student engagement, mathematical reasoning and making mathematics explicit.
