Welcome to Building Mathematical Capacity

Building Mathematical Capacity is a professional learning course designed to strengthen the mathematical understanding and instructional decision-making of educators and leaders across grades K–8 and beyond.

At the heart of this course is a simple but powerful belief:
Lasting improvement in mathematics doesn’t come from new programs or faster pacing—it comes from building deep understanding of the mathematics we teach and the structures students rely on to make sense of it.

Across these sessions, you’ll step into the role of a learner, engaging with rich tasks that surface the same ideas students must wrestle with in classrooms. You’ll explore how mathematical concepts develop over time, how representations support reasoning, and how seemingly different topics—fractions, ratios, percents, operations, data, patterns, and algebra—are deeply connected.

This course is intentionally task-based and concept-driven. Rather than focusing on tips or scripts, each session is designed to help you:

  • Strengthen your own conceptual understanding of key mathematical ideas
  • See how student strategies emerge from problem structures and representations
  • Make sense of why procedures work, not just how to perform them
  • Develop instructional moves that surface, extend, and respond to student thinking

The sessions included in this course span foundational and transitional topics such as:

  • Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
  • Fractions, decimals, and percents
  • Ratios, rates, and proportional reasoning
  • Data reasoning and representation
  • Integers, patterns, and early algebraic thinking

While each session can stand alone, together they form a coherent learning progression focused on helping educators build the mathematical capacity required to support sense-making, flexibility, and long-term understanding in students.

Whether you are a classroom teacher refining your practice, a coach supporting others, or a leader building system-wide coherence, this course is designed to help you move beyond surface-level coverage and toward instruction that is intentional, connected, and grounded in how students actually learn mathematics.

We’re glad you’re here.
Let’s build the capacity that makes meaningful math learning possible.

Coherent by Design reveals the principles behind districts that sustain math improvement.

If you’re responsible for math improvement beyond a single classroom, this book was written for you.

Inside the ebook, you’ll learn:

  • Why most math initiatives stall during implementation—and how to design for the “messy middle”
  • How alignment between district leaders, principals, and coaches shapes classroom instruction
  • What actually builds math teacher buy-in (and why it comes after clarity)
  • How conceptual understanding, fluency, and equity are system design issues
  • Why sustainable math improvement depends on structure—not heroics

Each principle is short, focused, and written specifically for K–12 mathematics systems.
