Kim Sutton’s workshop for K-2 will focus on how to take short amounts of time in the teaching day to establish routines with math activities that build strength in number sense including areas like place value, number properties, proportional reasoning, fact fluency and mental math.   The strategies that Kim has developed are proven to motivate and create constant reinforcement of skills for all students. Participants will be actively involved in constructing and using math tools that deepen their understanding of the fundamentals of math instruction. Participants will receive a huge handout along with a powerful toolkit of materials. 

Participants will

·         learn new powerful and effective strategies for fact fluency

·         increase the impact of the classroom number line

·         make connections with words and numbers for strong number sense with daily activities

·         use music and movements that reinforce math concepts for permanence of math concepts

·         learn simple but effective games for reinforcement of skills

·         learn how to differentiate activities to accommodate all learners in your classroom 

Scissors, markers, scotch tape and a stapler will be needed for full involvement in this hands-on workshop.
