The Mathematics in a PLC at Work^® Summit is led by educational thought leaders and acclaimed authors of the book series Every Student Can Learn Mathematics. Committed to helping you design an effective K–12 mathematics program, these mathematics experts will share research-affirmed and proven strategies for your classroom, school, and district.

Part of the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series, this practical resource provides a teacher framework for collectively planning a unit of study with learning outcomes in grades 3–5. Foster team collaboration that helps students use appropriate tools to improve their math vocabulary and meet academic standards.

Bring a laser-like focus to the content PreK–2 students need to learn in every unit throughout the year. This unit planning resource enhances teacher collaboration through the PLC at Work process, increasing student learning in mathematics in early childhood education classrooms.

Gain lesson-design strategies and instructional methods of teaching mathematics in a professional learning community (PLC). This results-oriented book presents an approach for teaching math that supports student perseverance and learning through standards-based activities and lessons.

In this session, we will explore how teams develop effective mathematics instruction using 6 elements of lesson design. The process of designing engaging, targeted, and high quality instruction allows teams to dig deeply into both best practices in mathematics and grow in content knowledge. Participants will leave with a set of tools and discussion protocols to enhance their instructional planning and teaching of mathematics.
