In this session you will investigate the conceptual teaching of addition and subtraction of fractions. We will explore how and when to use common multiples and find and use the greatest common factor. Additionally, we will be linking hands-on manipulatives to addition and subtraction algorithms. We will utilize the CCSS Progression Documents to model how...
In this session you will investigate the conceptual teaching of multiplication of fractions. We will explore the rectangular and area models of multiplication. Additionally, we will link models of concrete manipulatives to the multiplication algorithm. We will utilize the CCSS Progression Documents to model how to teach the beginnings of fractions through the algorithms. Date:...
In this session you will explore ways to help students conceptually understand division of fractions. We will use hands-on manipulatives and the rectangular area model of division. How does the concept relate to the algorithm? Why do we flip the second fraction when we divide? We will utilize the CCSS Progression Documents to model how...

This Workshop Is Intended For Teachers In Grades K-8. The Goal Is To Provide Strategies For Engaging Students In Rigorous Mathematical Problem Solving Experiences And Investigations.
After a discussion exploring mathematical modeling at the secondary level participants in these three 3-hour sessions will experience mathematical modeling with data, including one activity that focuses on a social justice topic. Dates: July 26, 27, and 28 from 9-12 each day with additional asynchronous work. Presenter: Dr. Joanne Rossi Becker, SJSU. https://sjsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAsc-GvrjkpE90Qe0RNE7aeGCC8XcKKweAR For more...
