(2 of 6 Required Hours) Designed for educators new to Bluebonnet Learning K–5 Mathematics, this session introduces the structure and instructional design of the materials while exploring lesson components, embedded routines, and effective strategies that support rigorous, engaging mathematics instruction.
Analyze lesson components, anticipate student thinking and misconceptions, and leverage curriculum resources to design intentional instructional experiences that build conceptual understanding and support all learners in accessing grade-level mathematics.
Examine instructional routines, facilitation moves, and opportunities for purposeful discourse that support efficient implementation of grade-level content without sacrificing rigor, responsiveness, or meaningful student participation.
Learn to integrate Zearn and Math Catalyst into daily mathematics instruction to differentiate learning, provide meaningful independent practice, monitor student progress, and deliver targeted intervention and enrichment that deepen mathematical understanding and accelerate student growth.
Course Description: Advanced mathematics requires intentional planning to ensure students accelerate without creating gaps in understanding. This session focuses on strengthening the pathway from middle school mathematics to Algebra I. Teachers will explore vertical alignment and instructional moves needed to support advanced learners.
Teachers will learn how to:
Understand accelerated TEKS progression
Identify prerequisite skills needed for Algebra I
Support students who skipped mathematical content
Build algebraic reasoning earlier
Increase depth and complexity for advanced learners
Teacher Takeaway: Teachers will leave understanding how to support accelerated students while preparing them for future success.

Course Description: All students deserve access to rigorous mathematics instruction. This session focuses on strategies that support diverse learners while maintaining grade-level expectations. Teachers will learn how to provide scaffolds that build independence instead of removing productive struggle.
Teachers will learn how to:
Use vocabulary routines to strengthen understanding
Provide language supports for mathematical conversations
Create access points for challenging tasks
Support different learning needs during instruction
Use representations and models effectively
Teacher Takeaway: Teachers will leave with strategies to increase access and engagement for every learner.
