The Add+VantageMR professional development program supports K-5 mathematics assessment and teaching. The program has two parts. The first course is a 4-day workshop with the development of local collegial teams to support on-going study. The course covers the Learning Framework In Number; the Add+VantageMR assessments for Number Words & Numerals, Structuring Numbers, and Addition & Subtraction; and the Classroom Instructional Framework for Early Number. The participant resource package will include the Add+VantageMR teacher handbook, three assessment kits, exemplary teaching settings, and the new Math Recovery Book 3, Teaching Number in the Classroom: with 4-8-year olds. The second course is a 2-day workshop that extends the framework to include place value and multiplication and division. Teacher resources and assessment kits include:

• Detailed diagnostic assessments to understand each child’s level of proficiency with computation and number sense.
• Application of teaching strategies to guide development of mathematical reasoning.

Optional Training

This staff development can include an additional two (2) days focusing on the more advanced strands of the Learning Framework in Number and supporting teaching strategies. The Add+Vantage Math professional staff development is based on the text, Teaching Number in the Classroom with 4-8 year-olds (2006) and also draws on the text of Early Numeracy: Assessment for Teaching and Intervention, (2nd Edn, 2006). Add+Vantage Math is conducted by a US Math Recovery Council Trained Champion.
