In my consulting work, I have seen the looks in the eyes of participants when I ask a question involving fractions. They will actually say, "I'm out! I never understood fractions." But then, after some time exploring fractions in concrete, pictorial, and abstract ways those same participants tell me, "If I had learned fractions this way in the first place, I wouldn't feel the way I do now about math." Join me in this workshop as we explore this various representations in the context of all the fraction content standards of grades 1-5 as well as some powerful daily routines that will help your students develop fraction number sense.
Here's what you can expect from my two-hour on-demand workshop:
- Exploration of the fraction conceptual understandings for all fraction standards in grades 1-5 using concrete, pictorial, and abstract representations
