In this session we will investigate the conceptual teaching of fractions. We will use concrete examples and representations for understanding the basics of “what is a fraction” through equivalent fractions and LCM/GCF. The CCSS Progression Documents will be used to help with sequencing and instructional models. Date: June 13, 2022 from 9am to 11am Presenters:...
All students need to learn the language of mathematics. This language-focused approach to learning mathematics addresses math vocabulary with very specific meaning, as well as multi-meaning words and symbols. Dr. Molina provides many examples of language-focused conceptual instruction such as a chapter on order of operations, and two chapters on fractions. We will meet and...
Moving from whole numbers to rational numbers is challenge for many students. Join us to deepen your own understanding of rational numbers and learn research-based and classroom-tested strategies that use ratio reasoning to build a cohesive learning opportunity for all of your students. This three-session workshop will focus on equal share problems, and ordering, comparing,...
Join us to read and discuss both mathematical problem-solving and lesson study. The incoming California math framework recommends students learn through complex problem solving and investigations. Takahashi provides example units and lessons that develop both conceptual and procedural understanding. The lesson study portion takes you through the steps to collaboratively plan learning through problem solving....
Middle school math teachers set a foundation that creates opportunities for students' educational and career choices. Ratio reasoning and proportional reasoning are essential for success in math and science. This three-session workshop will deepen your own understanding through a focus on percent ratio comparisons, rate of change, and measurement. Participants will receive a copy of...
Moving from whole number multiplication and division to multiplication and division with rational numbers is a challenge for most students. Join us to deepen your own understanding of rational numbers and learn research-based and classroom- tested strategies that use ratio reasoning to build a cohesive learning opportunity of all of your students. This three-session workshop...
Join us to learn research-based, classroom-tested strategies for supporting student understanding of multiplication and division of fractions. Our teacher leaders will deepen both your and your students' understanding of the concepts and useful tools to solve increasingly complex problems. We will build on what you and your students know about computation with whole numbers and...
