Welcome to the Sched site for the Northwest Mathematics Conference!

ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED - signing up in Sched does not guarantee you a spot in a session. However, planning your day in Sched really helps us anticipate any potential need to make room changes.

If you create a free account, you can plan and edit your schedule. You may wish to select more than one session in a timeslot as a backup, in case your first choice of session is full.

On the right side of the schedule you can filter by grade band. This will include the sessions which span more than one grade band. You may also wish to view the Schedule as Expanded.

Reimagining Fractions: A visual approach for conceptual understanding
Saturday October 26, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Macdonald F, Fairmont
Join Jen Carter and Susan Robinson from the BC Association of Mathematics Teachers for an exploration of the progression of fraction concepts across grades 3 to 8. We believe that fractions should be taught through a visual approach to help students develop a strong conceptual understanding. This session will engage teachers in hands-on activities and visual provocations that uncover student thinking and common misconceptions. We will be looking at multiple representations of fractions and teacher moves that encourage students to justify their reasoning and strategize their approaches to working with fractions.
