Building Coherent Mathematical Pathways with Quantile Measures

Thursday November 5, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am EST

Explore how Quantile measures support coherent K–12 mathematics pathways aligned to North Carolina’s evolving standards. Participants will engage in free Hub tools, analyze Quantile data, and explore strategies for lesson planning, differentiation, goal setting, and family communication. Attendees will leave with practical tools and ready-to-use strategies to support student mathematical growth.

The Importance of Factor Trees for Grades 7-12

Thursday November 5, 2026 11:10am - 12:10pm EST

Piedmont 3

Empowering your students with the knowledge of Factor Trees allows learners to determine the number of factors for a given number, to list the factor pairs and to apply that information to factor trinomials into pairs of binomials.

Speakers

Eric O’Brien

Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools, Bellmore Schools

I enjoy empowering students with alternatives to traditional computation, algebraic reasoning, geometric reasoning, quadratic reasoning and number theory, Playing with dice, graph papers and colored pens, let’s bring mathematics to life. Need time to discuss any of these concepts... Read More →

The Journey to Mathematical Fluency

Thursday November 5, 2026 12:20pm - 1:20pm EST

Piedmont 3

We all want our students to be fluent mathematicians but how do we support them in reaching this goal? Join us in examining the intentionally designed progression of K-5 standards that build this journey to fluency of whole number operations and leave with tools and tasks to share with members of your learning community.

Math Festivals Made Easy: Fewer Logistics, More Joy

Thursday November 5, 2026 2:40pm - 3:40pm EST

Piedmont 3

Hosting a math festival is easier than you think. Learn how to use a mobile Festival Kit based on Julia Robinson Math Festival activities to create your own joyful math festival. The kit serves up to 100 students at a time, and works in K-12 classrooms, community nights, or school events. Test drive the activities and leave with a plan to use the kit for your own events.
