Target Audience: K-3 Teachers Why do students frequently stop "getting it" when it comes to mathematics? The Math Getting It Project will give teachers the content knowledge and instructional strategies needed for successful math instruction. Participants will also build confidence in their ability to make a difference and see ALL students really 'get it' when they teach a math lesson The learning outcomes of this course are to:  Develop content knowledge of numeracy and the concept value as it changes from pre counting to arithmetic operations  Learn to explicitly teach the concept of value using multiple mathematical models  Be able to identify and implement highly effective research-based instructional models  Learn how to explicitly teach foundational concepts that help students make connections between mathematical ideas  Understand the important role K-3 teachers play in students' future success in mathematics MARCH/APRIL 2010
