3rd Grade Math in 
Action: From 
Standards to 
Classroom Practice 
 
Target Audience: 
3rd Grade Teachers 
 
This course is designed specifically for 3rd grade 
teachers who want to strengthen mathematical 
foundations through intentional, standards-aligned 
instruction. Participants will unpack the 3rd grade 
mathematics standards, explore the research behind 
early numeracy and fluency development, and 
engage in evidence-based instructional practices. 
Teachers will practice implementing formative 
assessment strategies and task-based assessments, 
including 3-Act Tasks, Three Reads, and Number 
Talks. Together, we will examine effective fluency-
building strategies that develop conceptual 
understanding—not just speed. Participants will leave 
with a practical instructional toolbox filled with ready-
to-use strategies, tasks, and assessment approaches 
that can be implemented immediately in the 
classroom.

Target Audience: 
K-12th Grade Teachers, 
Instructional Coaches, & 
Leaders 
 
Looking for instructional practices that develop 
students who are mathematical thinkers and problem 
solvers? Register for this class today. In this session 
for K-12 Mathematics teachers, participants will 
explore 14 rich, evidence-based, and research-based 
teaching practices for enhancing learning. Using ideas 
from Peter Liljedahl’s “Building Thinking Classrooms 
in Mathematics”, teachers will learn to how to use 14 
highly engaging and effective instructional practices 
to bring mathematical concepts to life and transform 
teaching and learning. Instructors will share 
strategies and resources to support participants in 
instructional planning and creating a challenging 
environment (TKES Standards 2, 5, and 8) that will 
positively impact teacher practice and student 
achievement.
