Exploring Mathematics Content Progressions – A Professional Learning Series
Exploring Mathematics Content Progressions – A Professional Learning Series
Effective mathematics teaching requires educators to know and understand how the content, tools, and processes they teach fit within the broader picture of mathematics learning. During each session in this professional learning series, participants will gain insight into the development of these topics as they explore the standards across grades, engage in hands-on explorations, and discuss instructional strategies.

Area Models – October 31, 2025, Oxford, MS
Area models serve as a powerful visual representation of numerical relationships that can be applied from single digit multiplication in 3rd grade through multiplying polynomials in middle school and recognizing geometric patterns in high school. During this session, educators will explore the progression of standards to better understand how using area models can aide students in making connections between computational and algebraic skills. Audience: Grades K-12; Credits Available: 0.6 CEUs or 5 SEMIs; Cost: $150 per person; Registration Deadline: October 23, 2025
