Institute 3: Proportional Reasoning
The focus is on the content and the Common Core Mathematical Practices that support the Rational Numbers and Proportional Reasoning progressions of the AERO/Common Core Standards. Attention will be given to the basic number progressions in fractions and rational numbers, decimals and percents, and ratios and proportions to develop both rational number concepts and skills and proportional reasoning.

Institute 4: Geometry and Measurement
The focus is on the content and the Common Core Mathematical Practices that support the Geometry and Measurement progressions of the AERO/Common Core Standards. Attention will be given to the foundations of informal measurement and geometry ‘in one, two, and three dimensions. The van Hiele model for geometric learning will be used as the framework for how children build their understanding of length, area, volume, angles, and geometric relationships.

Institute 5: Assessment in the Mathematics Classroom
The focus is on assessment of conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge. Participants will examine current research related to mathematics assessment to direct and improve instructional practices. They will explore the way in which different assessment methods are aligned with specific learning targets and develop skills in creating specific clarifying and probing questions. A focus will be on the 4 criteria for assessing mathematics proficiency.
