Seeing Structure Across Representations (IMPACTS-HS) In this interactive IMPACTS workshop, participants will explore how multiple representations can help students notice mathematical structure, make connections, and build conceptual understanding. Teachers will engage in hands-on and investigative tasks that move among concrete, visual, graphical, and symbolic representations, with particular attention to how different representations reveal different features...

FUNdamentals of Basic Fact Fluency: Multiplication and Division (IMPACTS-Elem) Are you struggling to help your students master their basic facts? Fluency with basic facts goes way beyond simple memorization and lays the foundation for powerful strategies that promote number sense. Come and explore ways you can utilize engaging teaching routines, meaningful games and strategy practice tasks that...

 Expressions, Equations, and (In)Equality (IMPACTS-MS) - VIRTUAL ONLY Expressions, equations, and inequalities are critical concepts for students transitioning from Elementary arithmetic to High School mathematics. Students progress from the world of concrete representations to abstract thinking, bringing to bear a variety of math trajectories. Workshop participants will explore strategies for building relevance, excitement, and understanding...

 Beyond the Shape: Teaching Geometry with Conceptual Depth (IMPACTS-Elem) How can students discover attributes and structures through exploration? Come experience the world of geometry in a new way. Look at figures and shapes in new ways, and discover new relationships. Participants will experience investigations designed to support K-5 students' discovery and conceptualization of geometric attributes...

 Bridging the Learning Gap: Interventions and Acceleration (IMPACTS-Elem) What routines and lesson structures help ALL learners succeed? Dig deep into a K-5 Number Sense Trajectory to unpack ways to support students in their learning journey by addressing specific skills. Experience how these research based ideas of intensification, acceleration, and intervention apply to students with diverse...

Small Groups, Big Impact (IMPACTS-Elem) Have you set up Centers with your students, and now you want to dig deep into your intensification and enrichment time with your small groups? Do you want to discover how to choose your small groups, how to structure their experience, and how to get the most out of the...
