Building a Strong Elementary Math Program is a 2-day course designed for K-5 teachers. The class
provides a powerful model for creating an intensive mathematics program that will empower students to
achieve the goals of standards-based curriculum.
Kim Sutton has designed her model for effective management using four areas of instruction and
reinforcement. She will model focus activities that are short in duration but long on reinforcement of
skills in each area. Telling time, money, computational review, and algebraic challenges can all be used to
enrich correct math language and reinforce elementary math skills.
Kim also shares her philosophy of daily drill and practice facts using motivational ideas that give
students access to basic arithmetic facts.
Teachers will also receive effective modeling of small group instruction. The class will include a critical
set of measurement choice activities to enhance any weak area of assessment in the elementary curriculum.
Participants will experience Kim’s motivational style of instruction. Throughout the intensive workshop,
teachers and attendees will learn the importance of creating a structured mathematical environment
in the elementary classroom through rich visual, auditory, and hands-on experiences.

This course meets the requirements of:
• No Child Left Behind and is specifically designed with these
standards:
• ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act)
• Title I and Title II: Teacher Improvement
• Scientifically based research |
What You
Will Learn:
- Participants will experience a powerful model for
“Building a Strong Elementary Mathematics Program” through “hands-on”
experiences that are meaningful and motivational.
- Teachers will build new mathematical knowledge through
five areas of emphasis—number and operations, algebra, geometry,
measurement, and data analysis & probability.
- New titles of powerful children’s literature that are
effective for mathematical content.
- The participants will experience new and “classic”
management “treasures” that assist in creating a visual connection to math
content in the classroom.
- Specific tools for mathematical content that are
constructed by elementary students through construction masters included
in the course manual.
- How to utilize focus activities to review important
math concepts.
- New drill and practice ideas will be modeled using
“classic” tools that are easily implemented.
- Gain ideas for effective whole class lessons that
encourage participation by all students of diverse levels.
