Struggly

Representations are at the heart of NY's Numeracy Initiative. But knowing they matter and knowing what they actually look like in your classroom? Two very different things.

On April 29th, we're digging into exactly that.

📊 Using Representations to Build Number Sense
Aligned to NY Brief 6 | April 29 | 4 PM EST | FREE

This session is grounded in real classroom practice. You'll hear from Marissa Pennington, an educator from Brooklyn, who'll share what using representations actually looks like in the classroom — and how it's working for her teachers and students.

You'll also work through 2–3 math tasks that surface multiple representations and leave with three teacher moves you can use immediately.

If you're a NY math teacher navigating the Numeracy Initiative in your classroom, this one's for you.
