AVMR 1 Training

Add+VantageMR (AVMR) Course 1 course includes dynamic, diagnostic, individual assessments in number words and numerals, structuring numbers, and addition and subtraction strategies. The assessment, data collecting, and teaching tools accelerate the educator’s ability to recognize the students’ current levels of numeracy understanding to make data-driven instructional decisions. AVMR is beneficial for anyone working or supervising others in the area of mathematics. It is most appropriate for pre-kindergarten through elementary, as well as for middle school educators who work with students that have fallen at least two years behind standards.

Participants will meet in-person for 2 full days and virtually for four 2 hour afternoon sessions.

Learning Goals/Outcomes

• Develop an understanding of the research and practice in the area of assessing, teaching and learning number

• Examine learning progressions for the three domains of early number; Number Words & Numerals, Structuring Numbers and Addition & Subtraction

• Examine pedagogical engineering of sample tasks to advance student thinking based on current levels of understanding

• Apply this understanding to support and empower teachers to improve mathematics instruction
