Rethinking Fractions

1.5 PD Hrs

This 90-minute workshop is for anyone involved in adult numeracy instruction who wants ideas for helping students develop core number sense with fractions at the early levels (CCRSAE Levels A-C). Participants will look at research on adult students’ fraction understanding, watch a video of students reasoning with benchmark fractions, and try out some activities themselves to expand their toolkits for teaching fractions conceptually. Lastly, participants will look at the continuum of fraction skills as they are developed through levels A-C and discuss what foundational skills should be mastered before students are taught operations with fractions.

Professional Standards Addressed: K1.1, K2.2, P1.2, P2.1
