Description
Most parents and teachers know that reading to children is an important part of developing literacy. Unfortunately, when it comes to developing mathematical thinking, these same parents and teachers sometimes feel confused and inadequate about how best to jumpstart their young children’s interest in and understanding of numbers.
This session covers easy-to-understand explanations of important number concepts, along with activities and resources to develop them. This course shows participants a pathway not only to mathematical excellence but also helps to foster a lifelong love of math.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- About mathematical thinking and understanding
- How to apply math to real problems
- What to avoid when teaching math
- How to think in ratios
- How to develop a number sense
- What to do when students get stuck
- How to make engaging worksheets

Interesting responses to teaching math in young children and explaining why the strategies will work.
Ian – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoy courses that help with critical thinking in Math. I wish there was more of them.
Brad – Region 17 (verified owner) –
I really like most of the suggestions. I teach the area of the trapezoid as the average of the bases times the height with long term success as well. The payday problem made some interesting assumptions. Compounded biweekly? 5000%?

Math strategies
Norma – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –
It had valuable information which can be applied in my math classroom. We need to make sure we use the proper terminology with students as they progress from one grade level to the next. We need to make sure students understand the concrete in order to move to the abstract and we need to ignite a passion for math.
Kealey – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
Gained some good information!
Kelley – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –
I teach early childhood and was drawn to the course for that reason. There was very little I could use in my classroom. I felt like he was just trying to prove math is important, but too much time was given to stumping the participants with math problems and not enough said about how and what to teach early childhood.
Mark – RIVER VIEW LOCAL (verified owner) –
The real world examples make this course worthwhile. They are applicable to many levels and situations
Elaine – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
This course did give an array of information on the development of number sense with great examples. I would like to see more hands on demonstration of development of number sense.
