Join us for a series of Elementary Math Content Courses
The University of Rochester is happy to share a series of Elementary Mathematics Content Courses for elementary teachers and leaders
Hosted by: The Center for Professional Development and Education Reform at the Warner School of Education
Fraction Concepts Across the Elementary Grades
Summer 2025 Content Course
Presenters: Maryanne Maves and Cynthia Carson
Course Description:
Research on mathematics teaching and learning shows that a teacher’s own relationship to and understanding of mathematics is vital for student growth. In this course, participants will engage in mathematics experiences designed to uncover the underlying mathematical ideas associated with fractions as they develop across elementary grades. The experiences will be purposefully sequenced to allow participants to see and feel the vertical alignment of the Next Generation Learning Standards, while linking them to effective and ambitious teaching practices and the NYSED Numeracy Briefs (2025). Participants will have opportunities to reflect on their learning and determine implications for their personal practice and contexts.
Date: August 6, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM-11:30 PM & 12:30 PM-3:00 PM (EDT)
Format: Synchronous sessions via Zoom
Audience: Grades K-6 teachers of mathematics, leaders, coaches, and administrators
Cost: $150 per participant ($140 if paying via district invoice or personal check)
CTLE Credit: Participants will receive 5 hours of CTLE credit for their full participation
**Registration will require you to create a Camp Network Account**
