2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

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.
