Suffern Central welcomed math education leader Greg Tang last week, for a full day of hands-on learning, classroom demonstrations, and professional collaboration across our elementary schools!
Through interactive lessons, Greg showed students how to build number sense, break numbers apart, visualize word problems, and explore multiplication and division in new ways. His visual, active approach helps students move beyond memorization to develop deeper understanding, flexible thinking, and confidence in math.
Our elementary math teachers, coaches, principals, and district leaders observed classroom lessons, shared ideas about effective instruction, and wrapped up the day with a district-wide keynote for all K-5 teachers.
Why does this matter for our students? When children understand why math works, not just how to get the answer, they build the confidence and problem-solving skills to tackle new challenges, both in and beyond the classroom.
We’re continuing to invest in the teaching practices that help every Mountie grow as a confident, curious learner!
