Is there a systematic approach to teaching arithmetic that develops number sense, great computational and problem-solving skills, and most importantly, abstract thinking skills? Is there a new way of teaching math that isn’t just the same old stuff re-packaged in a different format? Is there a step-by-step approach to teaching and learning math that is based on common sense rather than common misconceptions? The answer is “yes!”

In this exciting new workshop for K-6 teachers, Greg Tang introduces Go Fast, Go Far TM – a program that helps children and adults become good in math. He’ll show you the strategies that make mental math easy to do, and the teaching materials that make math easy to learn. You’ll not only improve your content knowledge – the key to being a good math teacher – you’ll learn new methods and activities that will help you pass this knowledge on to your students. Greg’s systematic approach to math is so simple and straightforward, you’ll leave wishing you had been taught this way. So join us on the next leg of this exciting journey. Math will never be the same!
