edWeb.net Announces Amplify Fractions’ Sponsorship of Adaptive Math Learning Community
edWeb.net is announcing Amplify Fractions as the new sponsor of the Adaptive Math Learning free professional learning community on edWeb. Fractions are the single greatest predictor of high school math achievement; by sixth grade, 100% of math standards assume a knowledge of fractions. Amplify Fractions uses engaging stories to provide students with personalized instruction, feedback and practice so they can learn to make sense of fractions.
Developing Fraction Understanding through Visual Math Models
In this edWebinar, Debi DePaul, Elementary Mathematics Consultant at ORIGO Education, will explore four different representations of fractions and why each is so critical and challenging to teach.
