CANCELED: Singapore Math: A Visual Approach to Problem Solving

Wednesday, April 29, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT

Singapore Math: A Visual Approach to Problem Solving

Presented by Andy Clark, U.S. Consultant for Math in Focus®: Singapore Math® by Marshall Cavendish® ©2020 Grades 1–Course 3 and Writer for Course 2–Course 3
Hosted by Whitney Yaple, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

This edWebinar has been Canceled. 

The development of successful problem-solving skills is a key element of mathematics learning. Through visualization and the model drawing approach, commonly used in Singapore Math, students gain the skills they need to tackle increasingly complicated word problems from one grade level to the next. What is most exciting is that rather than using the usual student favorite—guess and check, or at least guess—with model drawing, students learn to tackle word problems with efficient and strategic visual models that lead to generalizations. This puts them on the road to Algebra and future success in higher-level mathematics.

Join this edWebinar to:

  • Understand the effectiveness of visual models and visualization to develop conceptual understanding and number sense
  • Explore and use the Singapore Model Drawing approach to solve routine and non-routine word problems
  • Be able to use visual models to develop quantitative reasoning that leads to algebraic generalization
  • Enable more students to access complex problems using visualization and visual models

This edWebinar will be of interest to kindergarten through middle school teachers, school and district leaders, math curriculum directors, math coaches, and math department chairs. There will be time to have your questions answered at the end of the presentation.
