Overview:
Thank you for participating in the Training of Trainers (ToT) for the Mathematics Achievement Academies, Grade 3. This workshop focused on whole number operations and fraction concepts through hands-on activities, designed to enhance participants' knowledge of mathematics concepts and processes, leading to improved mathematics instruction and student success on statewide assessments and post-secondary readiness.
During the workshop, participants:
-
Examined the grade 3 TEKS based on learning progressions and critical checkpoints for student understanding.
-
Experienced classroom-ready activities, including formative assessment and follow-up activities that account for learner variability.
-
Built a toolkit of strategies and key questions through the analysis of activities for students with disabilities, English learners, students struggling to learn mathematics, and gifted learners.
-
Explored structures that provide opportunities for meaningful practice and feedback.
By participating in this academy, attendees strengthened their mathematics knowledge, improved their instruction, and prepared their students for success.
The ToT session took place March 24-27, 2025 at The Kalahari Resorts and Conventions - Round Rock.
