KP Mathematics presents...
Beyond Math Blocks - Digital
Reimagining K-5 Mathematics Teaching & Learning
At last, an opportunity for teachers to re-invigorate their practice!
Are you eager to transform math instruction and bring out the genius in students for years to come??? Join us for Beyond Math Blocks, KP Mathematics' inspirational 12-week digital course.
While focusing on the most critical K-5 math content for number and operations, the 12-week digital course will inspire and empower you with new ways of learning, new ways of thinking, and new ways of teaching.
You will walk away with a comprehensive set of use-it-tomorrow ideas, tools, and strategies contained in Ten-Frame Mathematics, a powerful re-envisioning of base ten content.
February 9 - April 27, 2023
NEW Sessions Released on Thursdays at 4pmPT
(First Session Released on Thursday, February 9)
Registration closes at Midnight on Wednesday, February 8
Ten-Frame Mathematics offers the simplicity, profundity, and connection that will remind you what it's like to LOVE your job.
Ten-Frame Mathematics is the concept that all base-ten principles, properties, and operations (no matter how simple or how complex) can be represented using the simple ten-frame as a organizing structure.
With this system, you will reinvigorate your practice, empowering your students to engage in new ways of thinking and learning.
This 3-month experience focuses on 3 C's:
• CONTENT: the most important base-ten content taught at each K-5 grade level
• CUSTOMIZATION: strategies to embed content within school-adopted curricula
• COACHING: ongoing coaching through Facebook live and private groups to ensure success in the classroom

Comments from our most recent Beyond Math Blocks participants:
Using the Ten Frame Mathematics tiles helped me to see that all concepts of maths can be taught using KP TIles. The tiles help to give the visual and students can make the connection of tens and ones; how they can be equivalent.
-Gwendolyn Starr
My introduction to TF Mathematics blew me away. Just seeing how using the ten frame tiles made place value and decimals so visual I couldn't wait to learn more. My 5th grade students were so engaged in learning with the use of the tiles they came to class the next day and asked if they could use them again. The TFT help students think more flexibly about numbers as the processes of grouping and regrouping large numbers and decimals became concrete. I look for ways to include TFT into my math lessons as often as possible.
-Joyce Dunning
I have found the versatility of the KP Ten Frames in Ten Frame Mathematics to be the single most factor in navigating a student's learning process in the complexity of place value. Too many times place value understanding is neglected for quick tricks because place value is abstract and complex. The KP Ten Frames and Ten Frame Mathematics navigate easily through that abstraction by taking students easily from concrete to representation to abstract.
-Elisabeth Bankhead
KP Ten Frame Mathematics has really informed my understanding on how to teach math in a multi-sensory way to struggling students. My students are finally feeling successful in their math abilities!
-Kris Eller
In learning about how to teach with KP ten frame tiles, it actually deepened my conceptual understanding of more complex concepts like decimal fractions because I did not receive instruction like this as a young learner in school. KP ten frame tiles are such a great visual for our students regardless of the concept. They are magical!
-Kari Croy
Ten Frame Mathematics is a game changer for supporting students in number sense, place value and operations K-5. Starting with the Ten Frame - everything that happens in the ones place happens in every place all the way to the millions family and beyond as well as numbers that are less than one including decimals and fractions. This system supports conceptual understanding and bridges the gap to sketching and symbolic representations. This system supports conceptual understanding of multidigit operations in a concrete way and scaffolds learning for the needs of all students. I highly recommend Ten Frame Mathematics.
-Judi Jamison
Ten Frame Mathematics is so much more that ten frames. I never imagined that you could teach multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals using ten frames. What a great way to relate everything back to place value. This is an amazing course where you learn how math concepts are connected to each other and also across grade levels. My knowledge and understanding of math has increased. Now I will be teaching and thinking about math in a different way.
-Julie Katingima
KP Ten Frame Mathematics takes something so simple, a 10 frame, and teaches you how to use it in a myriad of new ways. It opens your mind to so many possibilities, and allows you to grow your mathematical thinking and practices along side your students.
