Help students of any age develop numeracy and the language skills necessary to describe related facts and procedures by prompting them to compare quantities through multimodal presentations. Being numerate means being able to reason with numbers and other mathematical concepts, to apply them to a range of contexts and to solve related problems. Number sense is developed by establishing a robust, durable understanding of quantities so that their values may be compared.
In the first half of this session, Christopher Woodin will review some current research in the field of processing quantities, and how to facilitate the acquisition of numeracy within our students. Various games, worksheets and activities to develop numeracy will be demonstrated, and supported with free online materials.
In the second half of this session participants will spend time looking at the resources shared and discussing how to incorporate them into classroom instruction in the upcoming school year.
This session has a bundled price available. The same participant may attend this session and session 96716 on Revamping Math Warm-ups with special pricing. Please see session 96888 for registration.
