The Arc of Arithmetic to Algebra
,
Holiday Inn Portland, Overton Room, Lower level
The foundations of number sense and algebraic thinking developed in K–2 are essential for upper elementary, middle school, and high school mathematics, and they are often misunderstood. We will explore the progression of learning spanning from kindergarten to high school to experience how math skills developed in the early years prepare students for Algebra 1. No matter what grade you teach, you will find something to use with your students to propel them forward. A Curriculum Associates Professional Paper accompanies this presentation.

Liz was a math and science teacher in Seattle and Kansas. As a K-12 math curriculum coordinator for Wichita Public Schools she developed math training “clinics” for teachers for the college/career-ready standards, which developed into a state-wide training program through the Kansas State Department of Education. Her specialty is helping K-12 math educators interpret the coherence in the standards through interactive clinics using models, tools and manipulatives. She is a frequent presenter at NCTM, and was published in NCTM mathematics journal Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PreK-12, in February 2022.
