BeCALM Division Concepts: Curriculum for Beginning Math Learners (GLE 2-4)

1.5 PD Hours

During the workshop, you will be introduced to the materials and will hear recommendations for their use from the pilot teacher. You will explore some of the math content in the packet, including strategies for teaching partitive (equal sharing) and quotitive (how many blanks in a blank?) forms of division, and learn why developing a deep understanding of these two forms of division is important for student success. The unit includes application activities in the context of financial literacy that integrate Teaching Skills That Matter (TSTM)-identified skills.
