SATURDAY MATH WORKSHOPS
When does fractional thinking start? Does it ever end? Why is fraction work important? What is it about fractions that can make both adults and children cringe? How do you create a strong foundation in thinking about fractions and how do you build upon that foundation? Students engage in algebraic thinking from a very young age but they have trouble connecting what they have done in elementary school with what they are doing in their first algebra class in 8th or 9th grade.
Explore strategies in these workshops to change students’ expectations so both you and your students can become friends with fractions. While these workshops will build upon the previous one, they can be taken individually. Instructors: Nancy Buck and Math Leadership Students
