and the operations, and the
teacher’s role in supporting
their mathematical learning.
Participants will:
•examine how students
develop strategies for counting
accurately and efficiently, work
on place value and develop
strategies for solving addition
and subtraction problems
•examine the mathematical
content of the K-2 number and
operations strand in
Investigations and the number
and operations work at their
own grade level
•analyze students’ counting
and computation work to
consider what students
understand and don’t
understand about number and
the operations and how to
help them move forward
•analyze the teacher’s role in
helping all students and
specifically struggling students
develop numerical
competency.
