Connecting the Standards: How Does Addition and Subtraction Fluency Develop?

Join us for an in-depth, hands-on professional learning experience designed to deepen your understanding of how the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) support the development of students’ conceptual and procedural understanding of addition and subtraction across the elementary grades. In this interactive workshop, participants will examine the progression of addition and subtraction standards from Kindergarten through Grade 4, focusing on how the standards are intentionally structured to build a coherent understanding of place value, number sense, and algorithmic thinking. Using sample tasks and grade-level resources, educators will explore how students move from concrete representations and strategies to increasingly efficient, generalizable algorithms.
