Content & Teaching Methods
Greg’s teaching methods are based on the extensive work he’s done during the past 23 years, including more than 4,200 in-person workshops, conferences, and school visits, 2,500 Zoom workshops, and 300 student lessons with more than 2 million students, worldwide. In just one math-packed day, we will cover:
- Place Value & Base 10 Thinking. How can daily subitizing routines be used to build a better understanding of place value? What does Base 10 thinking look like at each grade level? How can we teach place value in the younger grades so rounding, decimals, and converting units of measure are easier in the upper grades?
- Operations & Number Sense. Can we teach addition and subtraction in a way that does a much better job preparing students for multiplication, division, and fractions? Can we teach multiplication & division in a way that better prepares students for ratios, rates, and proportional reasoning?
- Reasoning & Word Problems. Can we use word problems to provide context for operations while building measurement, data, and graphing skills? Can we use reasoning problems to apply and assess student understanding, differentiate instruction, and provide enrichment for all students?
- Math Talks & Assessment. Can we lead math talks that are way more engaging, inclusive, equitable, and effective? Can we use carefully-crafted, problems-of-the-day to deepen understanding, connect concepts, and provide daily, year-long test prep for year-end testing?
We hope you will join us for an incredible day of learning, then use our tools and technology all year long. Our Tang Math curriculum is used by some of the highest-performing and most-improving schools and districts, and Greg’s teaching methods and materials are licensed by major math programs across the U.S.
Teachers who have attended Greg’s Math Plus Conferences and workshops during the past 20 years have described them as life-changing, filled with positive energy, and more helpful than any course or PD they have ever taken. Partner with us as we work to make meaningful change in our classrooms, in our communities, and in our world. Math – and you – will never be the same!
