Math Foundations & Unpacking

Dates: June 4 or August 18. Attend the full day or select a morning or afternoon session.

Join us for a day of learning about the new MN Math Standards. This two-part session will provide you with the foundational knowledge necessary to lead the work at your school/district around the shifts in the math standards. Upon completion of these sessions, ongoing coaching and support will be available for you and your staff throughout the following school year. We highly encourage you to bg a team or small group from your district to participate in this collaborative learning experience. These sessions are also being offered statewide in a virtual setting. Please see the COMPASS Catalogue for more details or reach out to Kari Pratt for more information.

Part 1:  Morning Session: 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Creating the Vision: Foundations of Mathematics Teaching & Learning

This professional learning experience supports leadership teams in developing a shared mathematics vision aligned to the 2022 Minnesota Mathematics Standards. Participants will build a common understanding of mathematical rigor, examine the instructional shifts in the standards, and explore the role of the Mathematical Practices in supporting student sensemaking. Using this learning, teams will write or refine a mathematics vision statement with aligned support provided to help teams finalize and strengthen their work. The learning in this pathway is highly beneficial for leaders to engage in as it lays a solid foundation for application of learning in other math pathways. *Note* This pathway is a pre-requisite for other math pathways.

Part 2:  Afternoon Session: 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Unpacking the 2022 Math Standards

This professional learning experience is designed to support educators and instructional leaders in building a shared understanding of the 2022 Minnesota K–12 Mathematics Standards. Participants will engage with benchmark unpacking tools, resources, and a structured protocol for unpacking the 2022 mathematics benchmarks. By the end of the pathway, participants will develop an actionable plan for unpacking and implementing the standards at their own site.
