        Training

        This series of four live, 90-min webinars will support teachers who are new to using Equals Math. Delivered in bit-sized chunks, this series ensures educators have time to reflect upon their learning and apply their new skills before moving to the next topic. Sessions are interactive, allowing for discussion and hands-on exploration and practice with the materials. This learning series is divided into four modules:

        1. Overview and Organization

        • We review the research behind Equals, explore the four components and provide ideas for effective organization of materials.

        2. Prepare and Teach a Lesson

        • We review the process for locating, gathering, printing, and organizing the materials necessary for teaching an Equals lesson and then walk through a sample lesson in detail.

        3. Equals Assessment

        • We explore the Equals Assessment materials, understand the differentiation provided within the assessment and learn about administering and scoring an assessment.

        4. Use Equals Technology Lesson Centre to Support Instruction and Student Practice

        • We examine the Equals Technology Lesson Centre and consider how it can be used during instruction for specific parts of the lesson and how students may utilize the tools during the practice and application of skills.

        The series is for up to 12 participants.
