NUMBERS: Fractions and Decimals (3-8)
NUMBERS is professional development for intermediate grade teachers reflecting on teaching and learning mathematic big ideas through interaction and engagement of students. This 3-day Fractional and Decimal session focuses on learning key fraction concepts such as equivalence and magnitude before the operations. The session will make connections of decimals to fraction concepts prior to practicing operations on decimals. Participants will acquire knowledge of the big ideas of fractions and decimals to implement effective math instructions. Educators will use current math strategies and resources to aid in effective classroom instruction. Modeling with manipulatives, questioning, multiple representations, relational thinking, language, number lines, cuisenaire rods, set models, area models, pattern blocks, fraction bars, decimal wheel, 100-square grid, place value charts, decimal ruler.
