Launching the First 20-ish Days of Math

Audience: K-5 Teachers, Administrators, and Instructional Coaches

The goal of the workshop for Launching the First Twenty Days of Math, is to help teachers understand how they can establish a culture of mathematics teaching and learning in their classroom that teaches children they are mathematicians who love math.

During the first twenty days, we want children to:

• Engage in mathematics
• Understand there are multiple ways to solve problems
• Realize the way they think about solving problems is unique, important, and can inspire others
• Collaborate
• Inquire and explore
• Ask questions, talk about math, and debate
• Understand the teacher plays the role as a facilitator of their learning
• Take risks
• Love math

This full day workshop will model for teachers the steps of what the first twenty-ish days of math can look like, but is not necessarily a prescription for doing so. Suggestions for each day will be outlined, but what teachers actually do in their classrooms will vary depending on their own teaching styles, the needs of their students, and the other responsibilities they have at the beginning of the school year. Launching the First Twenty-Ish Days of Math is designed to complement that which is already taught in math at the start of school (e.g. textbook usage, curricular calendars, etc.). Additionally, academic and social skills learned can easily be utilized in other content areas.
