SUSD Professional Development Extravaganza August 2026
Tuesday August 4, 2026 8:00am - 9:45am PDT
Problem Solving in the early grades sets the foundation for student success with number sense, operational work, performance tasks, and mathematical reasoning. All early grade levels have problem solving as a  promise standard and it is an important component of the new math series enVision + California Math.

This collaborative PD focuses on putting students in the driver's seat of their own mathematical thinking. When they lead the problem-solving, engagement and confidence soar!  During this session you will practice: 
  • The 3 Reads Strategy: Master the routine that teaches kids to slow down and dissect word problems like a story—focusing on contextquantities, and questions before doing any math.
  • Co-Crafting Problems: Learn how to present real-world scenarios without a question, inviting students to co-craft the math problems themselves.
  • Student-Led Discourse: Grab quick routines that honor multiple solution pathways and make student thinking the star of your classroom.
Come ready to play, think like your students, and leave with high-impact strategies you can use right away!
