NEW: The Numeracy Project WORKSHOP
We have put together a workshop for educators that have been trained in the Numeracy Project and would like further support in implementing with students. This workshop will partner with teachers and coaches to:
- Intentionally provide learning opportunities to support students who struggle with mathematics
- Understand how skills from multiple stages can be connected and taught together
- Explore how intentional selection of skill codes allows for differentiation opportunities
- Identify opportunities within instruction where progress monitoring can occur without being on a rigid schedule
Participants will bring student NII data to create a plan for small group instruction. Interested in bringing to your district or building? Want more information about this workshop?
Reach out to your Heartland AEA Math Consultant with any questions or to schedule your
workshop today. Contact information can be found at the bottom of this newsletter.

Math Well Played
This two day course will build an understanding of math foundational facts, a sequence of facts instruction to best promote strategy development, time to explore games that help students progress through the three phases of fact mastery, along with a variety of assessment tools to monitor fact mastery. This course is suitable for teachers, coaches, and administrators of students K-8.
August 7 & 8 - 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Best Practices: A Deeper Dive into Numeracy
Participants will gain a robust understanding of math progressions and evidence-based practices so they can provide and/or support quality grade level learning and equitable experiences resulting in increased student conceptual understanding and numeracy leading to increased student achievement. This course is suitable for teachers and coaches grades K – 8 and those assisting struggling students in high school.
August 1 - 4 8:00 a.m. - 4: 30 p.m.
Adel Heartland Office
Early Childhood Math Activities and Routines
This class will focus on how to embed math activities and routines for young children throughout the day. Content areas of focus would be measurement, data analysis and number concepts. Participants will learn hands-on activities that can be implemented immediately in their classrooms. This class is an extension of Universal Mathematics in the Early Childhood Classroom Part 1 and 2. However, those courses are not prerequisites to this class.
August 2nd & 3rd - Johnston Heartland Office - 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Registration information coming soon!
