The Math Education Shift Teachers Need

Why do students struggle with math — even when they get the answer right?

In this full math professional development training, Jonily — founder of Minds on Math and host of Saturday Math — challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in math education:

Solving is not learning.

For decades, math instruction has prioritized procedures, algorithms, and finishing problems. But true math achievement comes from something deeper: number sense, reasoning, and conceptual understanding.

If you're a math teacher, instructional coach, intervention specialist, or school leader working to improve math achievement and raise math test scores, this training will show you what most curriculum models get wrong — and how to fix it.

In This Math Instruction Training, You’ll Learn:

✔ The critical difference between number sense and notation

✔ Conceptual vs procedural math instruction — and why balance matters

✔ Why solving problems doesn’t guarantee understanding

✔ How to improve math test scores without teaching more procedures

✔ How the brain actually learns mathematics

✔ Instructional strategies that scale math achievement across K–12 classrooms
