Overview:
Giving students opportunities to reason things out for themselves is especially true when it comes to mathematics. Teaching math well invites educators to listen to children without assumptions or judgement, pay close attention to children’s thinking, co-author instruction along a progression of strategies, and focus on numerical relationships. In this series of four, two-hour workshops we’ll explore the essential relationships that help young mathematicians see how fractions are connected to number, operation, and our everyday lives.
Agenda:
Session 1 - How might we introduce fractions in ways that cultivate conceptual understanding?

Session 2 - Why does it mean to investigate children’s solution strategies?

Session 3 - What’s next after we assess students’ conceptual understanding of fraction equivalence

Session 4 - What are ways we can help connect fractions to algebra?

During the session, we’ll analyze work samples and videos from students in a variety of grade levels as a way of designing strategic classroom discussions and learning tasks that elicit evidence of learning.

By the end of the series, you'll have learned ways to advance students’ understanding of fractions, create a replicable process for using formative assessment data to support and cultivate student’s mathematical thinking about fractions, and the basic principles of Cognitively Guided math Instruction (CGI).
Potential Audience:
Educators of grades K-6, math coaches, curriculum coordinators and administrators.
