Overview

OUR Math K-5 units are designed to tell a mathematical story that helps students explore concepts and develop number sense over time. To bring this to life, teachers need to understand the learning progression of a unit and how the lessons are sequenced to help students build fluency. In this workshop, teachers will have the opportunity to collaboratively plan for an upcoming unit and lesson.
