Professional Development
Vital Mathematics provides math professional development for teachers and schools, designed to strengthen instruction, deepen conceptual understanding, and promote student-centered learning. Our workshops and coaching sessions focus on effective lesson design, problem-solving strategies, and building confident mathematical thinkers — all informed by the principles of Singapore Math to bring clarity, rigor, and coherence to classroom instruction.
Foundations of Singapore math
Gain a deep understanding of the key principles that make Singapore Math effective. Teachers explore the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) progression, the intentional development of number sense and fluency, the role of problem solving as the center of instruction, and the use of bar modeling to visualize mathematical relationships. Participants leave with practical strategies to bring these approaches to life in their classrooms.
Designing effective math lessons
This professional development centers on adapting the rigor and structure of Singapore Math to strengthen other curricular frameworks, including International Baccalaureate and standards-based programs. Teachers learn how to integrate Singapore’s focus on reasoning, coherence, and conceptual mastery into their existing instructional models, creating lessons that are both deeply mathematical and locally relevant.
coaching mathematical discourse
Discover strategies to foster classroom dialogue that leads to deeper reasoning. Teachers practice questioning techniques and facilitation moves that support every student in explaining their thinking, developing precision in mathematical language, and engaging in authentic problem solving.
Customized Professional Learning & Coaching
Vital Mathematics partners with schools to design professional development that meets their unique goals and instructional needs. Whether supporting new curriculum implementation, strengthening teacher content knowledge, or developing ongoing instructional coaching cycles, we tailor each experience to align with your school’s priorities and culture.
