The Northwest AEA Math Team are leaders in mathematics education ensuring that all students and educators have access to high quality mathematics instruction.
We provide professional learning and coaching of instructional approaches in Iowa Core mathematics, conceptual understanding, problem-based learning, and differentiated instruction for K-12 students.
What we offer:
Numeracy Project
- Evidence-based resources including diagnostic tools, interventions, and progress monitoring
- Assessing numeracy to address students' needs for acceleration, remediation, and intervention
SOAR
- Supporting Ongoing Achievement Responsively
- Modules include: Number and Operations in Base Ten, Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Fractions, Ratios & Proportions, Expressions & Equations
- Participants are provided tools and intervention activities to identify and support students' mathematical understanding.
Building Numeracy
-
Developing student's understanding and flexibility when working with numbers to support fact fluency
-
Utilizing math running records to assess students' fact fluency as an alternative to timed testing
-
Participants will learn how these concepts build fluency with foundational numbers in the primary grades, which in turn, leads to computational fluency by the end of middle school.
