DESCRIPTION
As students continue to struggle with math mastery across grades K–8, teachers are in need of user-friendly resources that can help them find new ways to clarify concepts that students find difficult. In this free webinar for K–8 math teachers, curriculum leaders, math coaches, and school administrators, internationally known professional developer, conference speaker, and bestselling author Marian Small offers rigorous, field-tested methods for deepening students' mathematical understanding using visuals.
The new, extensively updated second edition of Dr. Small's book Eyes on Math: A Visual Approach to Teaching Math Concepts â (Teachers College Press, 2025) includes over 100 engaging, full-color visuals with explanations of how they can be used to stimulate mathematics learning, explain mathematical concepts, and assess students' mathematical understanding in grades K–8. In sharing concepts from the book, Dr. Small will provide attendees with a strong mathematical background, questions and tasks to use in instructional conversation, prompts for students to show their understanding of a concept using visuals, and suggestions to help assess student comprehension.
The approach presented in this webinar and the book is appropriate for teachers working with students with low reading ability, including English language learners and special education students. Through her visual teaching framework, Dr. Small offers a path to math mastery for all K–8 students.
