Learn how a group of teachers gained a deeper understanding of elementary math concepts by completing a curriculum topic study. Research of common student misconceptions, research-based instructional strategies, and other methods can be used to increase student understanding of core math concepts. Discover how topic study focused on specific areas of math can be an effective Project Learning Tree (PLT) or preservice activity.
