Teaching Math to Young Children, Grades K-1, Intro to CGI
|
children´s counting abilities to become fluent in addition and subtraction. This program shows teachers how to use word problems to help students move from basic counting strategies, to the use of derived facts, to fluency. Young children become fluent in addition and subtraction through repeated opportunities to solve carefully constructed problems that build on their intuitive knowledge of math. Videos of children solving problems will be used, and participants will talk about how to structure and manage a classroom to allow for this kind of problem solving. Facilitator: Theron Blakeslee, IISD mathematics consultant.
AUDIENCE: K-1 teachers
