In the School District of Waukesha, we have been training teachers in Add+VantageMR
since 2015. During that time, many teachers have experienced the value of learning
more about numeracy development in students and how to better facilitate learning. AVMR
is not a set curriculum for students, but rather training that allows teachers to analyze and
advance student understanding and numeracy development. If you are interested in joining an
AVMR course, participating in a book study, or taking a TDP, please see the information below.
FYI - If you are AVMR trained, you should be able to access the AVMR BlackBoard site by
logging in with your SDW username and password. All AVMR trained teachers have been
added to the site.

AVMR Trainings:
AVMR Course 1 involves teachers learning about Add+VantageMR assessments and focusing
on a continuum of learning in relationship to the Learning Framework in Number. Teachers learn
to use a series of three assessments to develop a profile of number knowledge for children:
number words and numerals, structuring, and addition and subtraction. The profile then assists
teachers in making informed instructional decisions to advance students' knowledge and skills.

Fractions Course (AVMR Course 3) is the newest AVMR Course!
Developing Fractions Knowledge by Amy Hackenberg, Anderson Norton, and Robert Wright
serves as the course text and provides a detailed and comprehensive guide to classroom and
intervention teaching of fractions. This course combines online learning with team meetings.
The teaching approach for this course relies heavily on working with students and then observing
and documenting students' mathematical activity and thinking. Instructional sequences take into
account detailed information about students' current levels of knowledge, as well as how students
reorganize their ways of working with whole numbers in order to meaningfully work with fractions.
It is highly recommended that you have completed AVMR Course 1 and 2 before signing up
for this course.

AVMR Book Study:
AVMR Book Study/Make 'n Take - Teaching Number in the Classroom with 4-8 Year Olds
This book study will read and discuss the purple book that teachers receive with course one of
Add+VantageMR. The topics covered in this book are beginning number and early counting strategies,
multi-digit addition and subtraction, and early multiplication and division. This book study will look at
the various assessment tasks and teaching activities that can be used in your classroom. Participants
will make and share resources for the various activities.

TDP Courses:
The following TDP courses will be offered during this fall semester school year.
- AVMR Course 1 Revisited (October 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th) Did you complete Add+VantageMR Course 1 and end up with more questions once you got back to your classroom? This course will review the information learned in AVMR and provide the time to further develop your understanding. We will take time to ask questions, share ideas with each other, and look at resources with activities to do with students. We will focus on Number Words and Numerals, Structuring, and Addition/Subtraction.
- AVMR Course 2 Revisited (November 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th) When learning something new, it is often hard to remember all of the key concepts. This course will review the information learned in AVMR Course 2 and provide the time to further develop your understanding. We will take time to ask questions, share ideas with each other, and look at resources with activities to do with students. We will focus on Place Value and Multiplication/Division, as well as information in the red book.
