Tips, Tools & Technology
Greg Tang will share tips for teaching the most important skills and strategies in each grade level. Together, we will explore the most effective ways to develop place-value understanding and number sense, build strong computation and problem-solving skills, and use word problems to apply and assess understanding.
At Tang Math, we believe effective PD requires effective follow-up. As an added bonus, we will provide every in-person workshop participant with exclusive pilot access to our TangMath.com online curriculum. You’ll be able to implement what you learn immediately, and supplement your curriculum with our powerful tools and technology for the 2024-25 the year.

Content & Teaching Methods
Greg’s teaching methods are based on the extensive work he’s done during the past 23 years, including more than 4,200 in-person workshops, conferences, and school visits, 2,500 Zoom workshops, and 300 student lessons with more than 2 million students, worldwide. In just one math-packed day, we will cover:
- Place Value & Base 10 Thinking. How can daily subitizing routines be used to build a better understanding of place value? What does Base 10 thinking look like at each grade level? How can we teach place value in the younger grades so rounding, decimals, and converting units of measure are easier in the upper grades?
- Operations & Number Sense. Can we teach addition and subtraction in a way that does a much better job preparing students for multiplication, division, and fractions? Can we teach multiplication & division in a way that better prepares students for ratios, rates, and proportional reasoning?
- Reasoning & Word Problems. Can we use word problems to provide context for operations while building measurement, data, and graphing skills? Can we use reasoning problems to apply and assess student understanding, differentiate instruction, and provide enrichment for all students?
- Math Talks & Assessment. Can we lead math talks that are way more engaging, inclusive, equitable, and effective? Can we use carefully-crafted, problems-of-the-day to deepen understanding, connect concepts, and provide daily, year-long test prep for year-end testing?
We hope you will join us for an incredible day of learning, then use our tools and technology all year long. Our Tang Math curriculum is used by some of the highest-performing and most-improving schools and districts, and Greg’s teaching methods and materials are licensed by major math programs across the U.S.
Teachers who have attended Greg’s Math Plus Conferences and workshops during the past 20 years have described them as life-changing, filled with positive energy, and more helpful than any course or PD they have ever taken. Partner with us as we work to make meaningful change in our classrooms, in our communities, and in our world. Math – and you – will never be the same!

Feedback from Greg Tang conferences & workshops:
“The best math conference I've attended in years! Love that Greg gave us the nuts and bolts to helping students develop thinking processes for math. I hope everyone teaching our youth attends a Greg Tang workshop ASAP!”
“This workshop helped me make connections in ways that the other professional developments have not been able to. I love how common sense Greg's approach is. Love it, love it, love it!"”
“This was my first Greg Tang workshop and 3 days later, I am still talking about it and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon! I transitioned from education 5 years ago and in one workshop, Greg has brought me up to speed. Granted, I still have lots to learn, but he gave me the foundational support I have been looking for all year. I am excited to start working with my teachers on number bonds, fluency, and reasoning skills. Thank you!”
“I thought this workshop was invaluable in showing not only strategies that teach the conceptual understanding but also are applied all through a child's math journey. Magical!”
