Every child deserves to stay in the learning, not be pulled out of it to “catch up.” What if our math systems were built around the handful of early learning trajectories that matter most, so teachers can strengthen understanding right inside grade-level work?

Join us to explore what that design looks like in practice through an interactive introduction to Designing a Coherent System for K-5 Mathematics, an emerging framework for identifying the highest-leverage concepts K–5 students must learn to set the foundation for higher-level math and to keep them from falling behind.

Together, we’ll examine student reasoning, explore the research behind the framework, and hear how educators in Oakland, California, are using these ideas to create greater coherence across classroom learning—so more students can keep moving forward in math.
