Math Professional Development (PD)

Every classroom is different. Every group of students brings unique strengths, gaps, and opportunities. At MathProject, our Professional Development isn’t generic—it’s designed to help Canadian teachers succeed, wherever they are on their math journey.

Who is MathProject PD For?

Whether it’s K-8 foundational math, advanced high school algebra, or special intervention for struggling learners, MathProject builds PD sessions that meet teachers right where they need it. If your board’s challenge is curriculum shifts, pandemic learning loss, supporting ELLs, or raising achievement, you’ll find hands-on solutions here—delivered by trainers who know Canadian classrooms inside and out.

What Sets MathProject Apart?

We start with the data—provincial assessments, classroom achievement, and board priorities. PD is tailored so Ontario teachers tackle what’s most urgent: closing gaps, deepening understanding, and building engagement.

Teaching Strategies for Every Grade:

Elementary (Grades 2–5)
  • Build number sense and confidence with "befriend numbers" routines and playful, skillful practice.
  • Six multiplication mastery strategies for true fluency (not just memorization).
  • Visualization models, drawing, and diagrams to help students tackle geometry and word problems.
  • Breaking down complex problems with the GRASS method—turning even intimidating questions into manageable steps.
Middle School
  • Problem-solving and meta-cognition, allowing students to experiment, adjust, and reason.
  • Grouping by skill for targeted differentiation—making sure every student grows.
  • Formative assessment for ongoing feedback and rapid adjustment in teaching.
  • Emphasis on mathematical language and communication: students learn to "show their work," organize their thinking, and justify every step.
High School
  • Multiple representations and gradual release of responsibility: teach a concept many ways, build discussion, and gradually hand over the process to students.
  • Focus on error analysis and process skills—students learn to spot, explain, and solve mistakes, building independence for college/career pathways.

Practical, Hands-On, Immediately Useful

MathProject PD is packed with demonstration lessons, collaborative activities, and real classroom modeling. Teachers get to unpack actual lesson plans (detailed roadmaps for instruction), practice feedback routines, and share ideas with their peers—so the benefits stick beyond the training day.

Confidence Building—For Teachers and Kids

Every routine, every resource is designed to grow math confidence—not just achievement. Learn how to support both the hesitant and the overconfident, shifting classroom culture from anxiety to persistence and pride.
