This workshop is designed to provide the content background needed by special education teachers and others who are responsible for teaching the mathematics grade level content expectations. Each workshop will also provide teaching strategies for general education teachers who are working with special education students. Students who struggle with fractions need extra help understanding the concepts of equivalence, and they need new strategies for visualizing and calculating the operations with fractions. This workshop provides new ways of conceptualizing and representing fractions and their operations, embedded in everyday problem contexts. Along with content and teaching strategies,
participants will look at assessments useful for monitoring students´ progress in mathematics. The overarching process standards from the Michigan Merit Curriculum of Reasoning and Proof, Problem Solving, Connections, Representations, and Communication will be highlighted throughout the
sessions. Facilitators: Theron Blakeslee, IISD mathematics consultant and Nancy Rudd, retired Lansing School District mathematics consultant.
Audience: special education and classroom teachers
