Foundations of Numerical Reasoning K–5: Building Fluency that Scales Across the Grades

In elementary math, the goal is not faster answers. It is stronger thinking. This one-day workshop is designed for teachers and math leads and focuses on how students develop number sense and reasoning across K–5. Rather than memorizing steps or collecting strategies, we will explore how understanding grows through patterns, relationships, and meaningful problem-solving.  Using rich tasks, classroom video, and student work, we will examine key progressions from counting and part-whole thinking to multiplication, division, and early fractions.  We will focus on how to notice student thinking and respond in ways that move it forward without rushing to procedures.  Participants will leave with practical routines, clearer progressions, and a stronger lens for supporting student thinking across classrooms.
