- You have kiddos who have “learned” the multiplication strategies, yet still revert back to skip counting.

- A clearly defined progression of what number sense looks like and how to help your students develop it.
- Peace of mind knowing you are heading in the right direction with your students.

What you get out of this mini-course:
Participants will become knowledgeable about instructional practices that build connections around numbers. You will learn the content, methods, and materials necessary to develop number sense in 3rd-5th grade and along the way become more confident in your ability to teach multi-digit addition & subtraction, multiplication & division, and fractions.

Hi! I’m Christina Tondevold
a.k.a. The Recovering Traditionalist & Build Math Minds Facilitator
4 Quick Facts About Me
1. I have 4 wonderful children and I thank the Lord that he changed the way I thought about mathematics before they arrived in my life so that I could provide math experiences for them, instead of math flash cards.
2. I call myself a Recovering Traditionalist. I was a very traditional learner and teacher…give me an algorithm and I could solve it…give me any mental math or story problems and I would start sweating.
3. I believe in the power of a positive and growth mindset (for ourselves and our kiddos). Failure is often how we learn our best lessons…yet we try too hard to not let our students fail in class. Feeding them step-by-step directions on how to solve mathematics problems is NOT truly mathematics.
4. My muther was my junior high English techer and she would propably have a heart attack if she ever ready any thing I put out…well, except for the 1st book I published (she was my editor). I donut take the time to be gramatically correct and nothin is ever prefect {I would rather spend my time with my kids} than ensure I wrote a complete sentence. 😉
