Helping Students Who Struggle with Multi-Digit Operations
|
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. This workshop will also provide teaching strategies for general education teachers who are working with special education students. Students who struggle with multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication or division need extra help understanding the concepts behind the operations, including place value and estimation. This workshop provides new ways of conceptualizing these operations, along with carefully constructed word problems, to help students develop fluency. 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
