In this session, teachers will explore the built-in differentiation features within Amplify Desmos Math that support all learners. Participants will examine how mini lessons, centers, and extension activities can be used within each unit to support, strengthen, and stretch student thinking.
Join us as we dive into the vocabulary supports and supplemental resources available through STEMscopes! This session will highlight tools designed to strengthen core instruction and help support the transition to our new math curriculum for grades 6–Algebra 1. Walk away with ideas and resources you can start using right away.
What does a strong math block look like with our new Amplify curriculum? In this practical, hands-on session, teachers will experience the structure of an Amplify math lesson by participating in a model math block. As we move through each component, we’ll unpack the purpose of each part of the lesson and explore how it fits into your daily instructional time. By the end of the session, teachers will have a clear understanding of the different elements of Amplify and feel confident organizing their own math block to make the most of the curriculum.

Let’s explore how to build true mathematical fluency in Grades 3–5! You will learn how to move beyond memorization by developing student accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility through engaging fluency routines, mathematical discourse, and strategy-based instruction. Participants will leave with practical tools to strengthen multiplication and division fluency while supporting diverse learners.
Discover how Stemscopes Math connects mathematical concepts to meaningful, real-world contexts. In this session, teachers will explore how the curriculum embeds relevance through problem situations, phenomena, and applications that help students see the purpose behind the mathematics they are learning. Participants will examine examples from the curriculum and discuss how these connections can deepen student engagement and understanding while supporting rigorous mathematical thinking.
This session focuses on using the workshop model in a resource setting to effectively address multiple IEP goals within a single classroom. Participants will explore how structured routines and targeted small-group instruction allow teachers to individualize instruction, provide specific skill-based interventions, and deliver immediate feedback aligned to student goals. Emphasis is placed on practical strategies for managing diverse needs, flexible grouping, and goal-driven instruction to support student progress.
Discover how to use MAP data alongside IXL to form targeted student groups and intentionally plan instruction. Move beyond the recommended skill path to design focused, meaningful lessons that drive real growth—while saving valuable planning time.
I love teaching Math, but mostly I teach so that I can help kids feel valued and important. I have taught all grades 5-8th grade and also Pre-K. I love creating things and making learning fun and engaging.

Explore how mCLASS and Boost Learning support instruction within Amplify Desmos Math for K–2 students. This session will provide an overview of how these tools connect to the curriculum and support student learning, progress monitoring, and targeted practice. Participants will learn about key features of each platform and how they can be used to strengthen early numeracy development. Teachers will also have time to explore the platforms themselves to become more familiar with the tools and resources available to support their students.
Explore IXL Spark Studio to enhance classroom instruction, practice, and review. In this session, teachers will learn how to effectively navigate Spark Studio and design interactive, engaging activities that make practice and review meaningful and enjoyable for students. The session will also highlight strategies for using the tool to differentiate instruction and support both English Language Learners and Gifted & Talented students. This is a repeat session from February 13th PL.
