Math Tasks to Support the Progression and Development of Multiplication and Division
In this webinar, participants will first review the research by Clements and Lawson to more fully understand the progressions of learning in multiplication and division. We will then explore specific tasks that will help support student development and understanding to move along this continuum to develop more efficient and effective strategies for these operations. Resources …

Fraction Representations and Operations – Matthew Oldridge
In this webinar, participants will be learning to represent fractions using linear models, area, volume, and sets. We will learn how these representations inform our sense of equivalence, and look at how fraction operations in grades 6-8 can be taught conceptually with “no tricks”. We will unravel the curriculum expectations and focus on ways to …

Developmental Continua in K-3 Mathematics
In this webinar, participants will be learning to assess students developmentally in Kindergarten to Grade 3 mathematics. We will look at the question, “how does student understanding of number and operations develop?” as a basis for how we plan for instruction, assess “in the moment”, and plan our next instructional steps. Proceeding from counting in …

From Counting to Multiplication: A Developmental Perspective on Primary Number Sense
In this webinar, participants will be learning to assess students developmentally in Kindergarten to Grade 3 mathematics. We will look at the question, “how does student understanding of number concepts and operations develop?”, as a basis for how we plan for instruction, assess “in the moment”, and plan our instructional next steps. Proceeding from counting in pre-K and …

Making Connections Between Proportional Reasoning and Fractional Thinking
Make connections from the relational thinking behind proportional reasoning and represent these number relationships as fractions. Join Kyle Pearce as we explore fractional thinking using tasks that are contextual, visual and concrete in order to examine fraction constructs, uncover multiple representations of fractions, and discover different perspectives that build the conceptual understanding behind the rules …
