Learn How To Transform Reliant Memorizers Into Resilient Problem-Solvers In Your Math Class In 6 Weeks!
A Pebble In Your Shoe?
(Or possibly a boulder!)
“I want to break away from teaching through worksheets and direct instruction but don’t know how to start”
“My students give up or don’t even try word problems”
“I’ve been searching for ways to ensure my students are successful and so far I’ve been coming up short.”
“PD sessions usually leave me feeling overwhelmed and at a loss on where to start”
“It’s tough to dedicate time in my day to plan my lessons let alone learn a new way to teach them”
You deserve resources, ideas, support, and PD for what you value in your math classroom!
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Hear From A Few Educators From Our Last Cohort …
It’s not often you find a PD course that gives you actionable and manageable moves as well as the resources you can use in your classroom immediately! This course DOES THAT!
The 6 weeks in this course has been the most meaningful professional development experiences as a math teacher I’ve ever had.
I have searched for ways to teach problem-solving in my math classroom for years unsuccessfully.
Discovering this course and applying what I’ve learned about lesson design and assessment has launched me on a wide trajectory to meet the needs of my students!
Many professional development experiences leave me feeling guilty I’m not doing enough!
After taking this workshop my guilt disappeared and I’m now motivated and excited to implement these practices into my classroom!

FUN FACT – Over 70% of our past PD participants did not use their own money to cover the costs. Their schools, districts, or professional organizations covered the expense.
To help make it easier for you to get funding we wrote a template justification letter so you can ask your supervisor for funds. (We’ll email you the letter).

EDUCATIONAL LEADERS ARE SAYING…
Kyle and Jon have established themselves as a go-to pair for thoughtful and interesting math lessons.
Their attention to the critical nature of building curiosity and the importance of thoughtful planning resonate with me. It is great that they have provided so many examples and a structure in which to create lessons.
Kyle and Jon are on a mission to change how students experience math by ditching those forgettable “I do, we do, you do” lessons and crafting moments that students will remember.
Curious students WANT to learn and are EAGER to tackle that next challenging problem. Let Kyle and Jon show you how to spark curiosity on a daily basis.
Their three step framework can help any teacher make small changes that result in big wins!

OUR PEERS ARE SAYING
“If you’ve ever wondered how to reach students who dislike math, students who seem unwilling to engage in math class, and/or students who are falling behind, this course will help you uncover the factors that have led these students away from math enjoyment and success and then counteract those experiences with new, practical instructional approaches. “
Michelle Rinehart
Mathematics Consultant, Mathematics Speaker — Odessa, Texas
“Motivating curiosity and mathematical sense-making isn’t easy, but Pearce and Orr show that it can be simple, and give a map of how you can take control of these central elements to make your math class work like you want it to. I’m going to be recommending Making Math Moments That Matter to a lot of the teachers I work with.”
Dan Finkel
Founder of Math For Love, TEDx Speaker, International Mathematics Facilitator, Math Game Creator, New York Times Contributor — Seattle, Washington
“Jon and Kyle are well respected educators and presenters who pay incredible attention to detail so that others have the best possible experience. They are fearless in their willingness to test out their new innovations so that they can share what they learn with others.
Most of all, they are so easy to learn from because they are authentic storytellers who blend their experiences with anecdotes to help us reflect on opportunities for improvement.”
