New to SVMI

Adult Asian Man Learning on Computer in Wheelchair-1

The New to SVMI Meetings are designed for classroom teachers, teacher leaders, coaches/TOSAs, and site and district administrators who are new to the Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative. New administrators and leaders of existing member districts are also encouraged to attend to learn about our updates. Topics include: SVMI’s pedagogy around equitable and engaging mathematics learning, our vast database of tools and resources, our wealth of professional learning and networking opportunities. The Meetings are included as one of the many perks of SVMI membership.

Beginning January 2027, the meetings will be redesigned as a New to SVMI video series. These videos will be available year round, on demand, and structured for self-paced learning. The Video Series will replace the virtual live meetings and is included as one of the many perks of SVMI membership.

In the interim, the New to SVMI Meetings will be held live virtually on Aug 17, 2026 and Sept 3, 2026.

Little Learners, Big Thinkers, Brilliant Mathematicians!

Sensory Math Exploration with Young ChildrenOur youngest mathematicians amaze us with the brilliance they bring into our classrooms—confidence, curiosity, joy, and a natural sense of wonder about the mathematical world. Let’s build on those strengths while deepening teaching practices to support their brilliance. These sessions will introduce early childhood educators to high-impact instructional routines that develop number sense in their students. We will explore routines that build intuition, number relationships, and deep number understanding through counting, subitizing, comparison, and composition and decomposition.

Play, Talk, Learn: K-5 Math Games for Discourse

Elementary Students Playing Math Game
In this hands-on course, participants will play, analyze, and design games that build number sense, operations, and mathematical reasoning, all while increasing student discourse. This course goes beyond the "fun Friday" framing to examine how game design choices (e.g., rules, materials, variation) create or reduce cognitive demand and increase opportunities for language rehearsal. Participants will also identify specific design choices that support multilingual learners, creating low-stakes opportunities to practice academic language and increase mathematical talk. Participants will learn how to design HQIM-aligned games, supporting instructional coherence.

Designing Locally Rooted & Culturally Relevant Performance Tasks

Performance Task Design
In this hands-on course, participants will analyze, adapt, and design performance tasks that connect to students' cultural contexts and local environments, all while increasing access and relevance for every learner. This course goes beyond surface-level representation to examine how task design choices (e.g., context, constraints, entry points) create or reduce cognitive demand and increase opportunities for authentic mathematical reasoning. Participants will also identify specific design choices that center students' identities and places, creating meaningful opportunities to engage with rigorous mathematics in contexts that reflect their lives.
