Do your students struggle with reasoning about numbers and quantity, addition and subtraction, decomposition or even counting principles? Are you looking for practical, high-quality tasks to engage students and ignite discussion? In this session, participants learn about dynamic, doable activities that engage students in meaningful ways. A collection of ready-for-use resources will be provided and explored so that pursuit of number sense becomes a daily routine. These resources naturally complement each and every lesson in any mathematics class. Classroom clips of colleagues leveraging these strategies will also be shared.

The struggle is real. But productive struggle is more than a catchphrase. It is the result of five actions that teachers take so that students struggle, persevere, and succeed. In this session, participants learn about how struggle in mathematics is grounded in identity, environment, planning, support, and reflection. Participants will acquire strategies to support them before, during, and after the lesson and the struggle. Instructional strategies, classroom resources, and lesson seeds will be shared for use as soon as the first day of school.
Our experience has taught us that focused conversations and customized support at the district level around each district's unique needs leads to stronger district wide structures and more clear communication. This session will address the newest level of Kansas MTSS and Alignment Training that is intended to align all of the efforts within a school district to common goals, prepare district leaders to facilitate change in each building, and develop instructional leadership competencies necessary to impact student learning.
