Accelerating Math Learning for Tennessee Students in Grades 6-8 - September 30th, 2024 (8:30AM-12:30PM CST)

Join this session to learn about how Zearn mathematics helps accelerate learning for middle grades school students. We’ll dive into middle grades digital lesson on Zearn to explore how the platform scaffolds mathematics problems with real world context and visual representations to help all students make sense of middle school mathematics and access grade level content. We will also address how new learning in real-world contexts and visual representations remove barriers to grade-level mathematics. The presenter will show the attendees how to implement daily math instruction that addresses unfinished learning while still moving students forward in new grade-level learning. This session will explore how coherent intervention—with a learning acceleration approach that anchors new learning in real-world contexts and visual representations—helps students build the understanding they need to unlock grade-level work. Participants will examine new research that mathematics learning acceleration works at scale and will explore strategies for implementing this approach to instructional design with a math coach from a Tennessee school district.
