Is there a way to teach math that’s intuitive, grounded in common sense, engaging for children, and most importantly, highly effective? The answer is yes!
At last, Greg Tang is applying everything he’s learned – after more than 1,300 workshops, conferences, and school visits in the past 10 years – to create a brand-new, supplemental math program that includes math learning centers for your classroom. Your students will not only develop strong computational and problem-solving skills, they’ll develop true algebraic thinking skills – the key to being smart.
In this new workshop, Greg introduces Smart Centers – carefully planned and meticulously designed math centers that give you the freedom to incorporate group work in your daily lessons. You’ll gain the confidence of knowing that your students are mastering important math skills whether they’re working directly with you or cooperatively in small groups.
As part of this workshop, you’ll receive a comprehensive activity book that allows you to incorporate Greg’s strategies and lessons immediately in your classroom. It includes worksheets that teach strategies and assess critical skills, activity sheets that leverage Greg’s picture books, game sheets that provide hours of fun and practice, and puzzle sheets that will challenge both you and your students. Math centers will never be the same!
Program Highlights:
- Clever Counting - Move kids from “counting all” to “counting on” strategy
- Doubles Play - Use doubles strategies to “cure” kids of counting on their fingers
- Math Limbo - New pegboard game teaches kids to add & break apart numbers

- Great Divide - Division strategies that teach basic facts while preparing kids for fractions & long division
- Numskill 3, 4, and 5 - Teach problem-solving & arithmetic while developing number sense; leveled for all ages
- Numskill 4×4 to 9×9 - Challenging puzzles reinforce addition and multiplication skills; leveled for all ages
What You Will Learn:
- How to use math centers to differentiate instruction and encourage cooperative learning experiences in your classroom
- How to design math centers that are effective, integrated, and easy to implement for a wide range of skill levels and situations
- How to develop strong computational, problem-solving, and algebraic thinking skills – all at the same time
- How to transition your students from concrete to abstract thinking, the key to generalizing and being smart!
