Math Instruction & Achievement
What does neuroscience have to do with it?
Morning Sessions will present the neuroscience that underpins math learning as well as current research that explores how executive functions affect math learning and performance. Both sessions will provide information related to difficulty with math learning and disability, including foundational information about dyscalculia. Attendees will choose from the following topics for the afternoon practice breakout sessions:
- Establishing a Strong Place Value Foundation for Mathematics Achievement Across the Early Grades (K – Grade 5)
- Math Instruction that Supports Later Success in Algebra 1 and Geometry
- Designing a Neuropsychological Assessment Framework to Support Effective Math Interventions
