These workshop days focus on strategies and order for fractional reasoning. The instructors will demonstrate how the use of routines and clear mathematical language is central to student learning. Participants will practice developing tools and strategies to best reach all elementary students, and will understand how patterns and techniques learned in Elementary Grades Math Lab can be used to support students as they work to meet learning outcomes.
NOTE: Participants are required to be skilled in teaching multiplicative reasoning, including: prime and composite numbers, multiplication, and divisibility rules. (Taking Part 1 of this series will teach these skills).
Workshop participants will:
Describe why conceptual and procedural understandings are important in the classroom.
Understand and integrate the mathematical progressions for K-5 math.
Identify student performance gaps for instructional intervention.
Develop a portfolio of mathematical questions to use for furthering student understanding and thinking.
