Webinar Replays

Announcing Bridges Intervention, Revised Edition

At the Math Learning Center, we believe that all students can make sense of mathematics. Some students just need more time, more opportunities, and more support than others. Our approach emphasizes problem solving, the use of faithful visual models, and a focus on developing fluency. Consequently, we’ve revised Bridges Intervention to reflect those beliefs and build on the strengths of all students and teachers by:

Bridges in Mathematics 2nd Edition Overview

An hour long introduction to the approach, structure and components of the Bridges in Mathematics program, a clearly articulated PK–5 curriculum offering a unique blend of problem solving and skill building.

Concept Quests for Bridges in Mathematics Second Edition

Concept Quests is a supplemental resource aligned with Bridges in Mathematics Second Edition Grades 2–5. Intended to provide enrichment for all students, Concept Quests extends student learning with concepts from the Bridges curriculum, reinforces and extends grade-level learning, provides opportunities to work both independently and collaboratively. In this webinar, you’ll learn about the Concept Quests materials and the (free) professional development resource that accompanies the program. Experience some of the tasks firsthand.

Implementing Bridges Third Edition with an Asset-Based Lens

This webinar focuses on using the Bridges Third Edition curriculum materials to build on the multiple resources and assets that students bring to the mathematics classroom. We will use examples from the materials and from Bridges Third Edition classrooms to illustrate strategies for enacting equity-based practices that support students in using their home, family, and community-based funds of knowledge to learn mathematics.

Introduction to Bridges Breakout: Number Rack

Bridges Breakout: Number Rack helps students learn addition and subtraction math facts using the number rack, a math tool that builds conceptual understanding and fluency through seeing and understanding number relationships. In this webinar, The Math Learning Center’s Nicole Rigelman and Shelly Scheafer walk you through Bridges Breakout: Number Rack with a focus on the underlying pedagogy, classroom use cases, and example lessons from the kit.

This workshop stretched the thinking of our team and deepened our understanding of the models and strategies taught in Bridges. We came away prepared to provide ongoing professional development for our current teachers, and train new hires for successfully teaching with Bridges curriculum.

Lead teacher – Snohomish, WA

We enjoyed having you set such a wonderful tone for our group. Thank you for sharing your expertise, bringing laughter to the room, and cultivating confidence for teachers.

Math coordinator – Avon, IN

Even though I had been using Bridges for over a year, I was not aware of the many resources available to me. I am excited to dive into them and now feel like I can fully support teachers with their needs.

School administrator – Napa, CA

I enjoyed connecting with other math coaches from other parts of the country and hearing about their schools. The readings were helpful because I could directly apply them to the work I have been doing.

Course attendee – fall 2015 session

Our site truly benefited from having an MLC curriculum specialist on-site for targeted and individualized support for our staff having an expert answer our questions, share resources, and experience.
