7 Opportunities Throughout July

The Early Grades Summer Math Trainings supports K-4 educators in strengthening foundational mathematics instruction for the 2026-27 school year. Participants will explore number sense, operations, and early mathematical reasoning while deepening their understanding of how these early concepts build over time.

Led by Tennessee educators and grounded in real classroom practice, the three‑day training emphasizes effective use of HQIM, analysis of student work, and strategies that promote long‑term success in math learning. While sessions are happening concurrently throughout June and July in each grand division, many have already reached capacity. Limited seats are remaining, so secure yours now.

4 Opportunities Throughout July

The Middle Grades Summer Math Trainings equip 5-8 educators with targeted support around the major shifts in mathematical thinking that define the middle school years. Through a three‑day, high‑impact learning experience, teachers will strengthen their content knowledge in areas such as proportional reasoning, expressions and equations, and high school readiness.

Facilitated by experienced Tennessee educators, these sessions focus on effective use of HQIM, meaningful task exploration, and understanding how key math ideas progress across grade levels – marking not only the first return of this training since 2023-24, but also with updated content. While sessions are happening concurrently throughout June and July in each grand division, many have already reached capacity. Limited seats are remaining, so secure yours now!
