This two-day NCTM Interactive Institute is designed to help K–8 educators strengthen one of the most important goals of mathematics instruction: helping students use mathematics confidently, flexibly, and purposefully. Through hands-on learning, collaborative experiences, and classroom-ready strategies, participants will explore the essential components of numeracy, including number sense, fluency, problem solving, reasoning, communication, and mathematical language.
Throughout the institute, teachers, coaches, and administrators will examine what it means to be numerate, experience practical instructional routines, and leave with actionable tools they can immediately apply to help students make sense of mathematics and use it effectively in school and everyday life
