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.
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.
In this webinar, Kathleen Jalalpour, Middle School Math Teacher and Singapore Math Consultant, will share a variety of ways to help students gain a better understanding of fraction concepts and other mathematical topics more generally.
In this third webinar of the series, Dr. Sara Delano Moore will share strategies for helping students understand critical concepts such as common denominators and see connections between manipulative models and the algorithms we use to add and subtract fractions.
In this presentation, we will take an easy-to-digest look into how the brain processes mathematical information to gain a better understanding of how we can optimize learning fractions and other mathematical topics more generally.
In part two of our three part series, Dr. Sara Delano Moore will share manipulatives to use to develop fraction sense – understanding what fractions are, making sense of how they behave, and modeling operations with fractions.
In this webinar, Dr. Sara Delano Moore will share activities which use common manipulatives to model operations with fractions and decimals.
In this webinar, Dr. Sara Delano Moore will share activities which use common manipulatives to model fractions and decimals with a focus on equivalence and comparisons.
In this last webinar of our Five-Session Series, presented by the Building Understanding in Mathematics community on edWeb.net, Dr. Sara Delano Moore shared strategies for helping students understand why fraction multiplication and division seem to behave differently from fraction addition and subtraction.
In Part Three of this Five-Session Series, presented by the Building Understanding in Mathematics community on edWeb.net, Dr. Sara Delano Moore shared strategies for helping students understand adding and subtracting fractions.
