Numeracy Pro-D Sessions - November 10, 2025

Developing a Comprehensive Math Program (K to 8):

This first session started off virtually in the morning with school teams from 11 elementary schools participating, facilitated by Jen Findlay, Director of Instruction/Early Years. School teams then collaborated in person to strengthen their instructional numeracy practices and routines using a variety of shared resources.

Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom (K to 5):

Kindergarten to Grade 5 teachers gathered for Session 2 of a 3-part learning series, focused on Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom: Grades K-5. This series builds on the acclaimed work Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl and Maegan Giroux, exploring strategies to engage students though rich, meaningful math tasks.

This session was facilitated by Numeracy Helping Teachers, Christine Blacklock and Marlee Penner. Participants from eight different elementary schools collaborated, shared ideas, and experienced hands-on activities designed to foster deep mathematical thinking.
