Beyond Invert and Multiply, Understanding Fraction Computation in Grades 3-5 Part 2

Grades 3-5: This hands-on workshop will focus on instruction that can be used to build deep conceptual understanding of fraction computation. Research indicates that a majority of our students enter middle school with a limited understanding of fractions, and as a result begin to struggle with much of the middle school content. In this workshop we will explore how to teach fraction computation so that students truly understand the “whys” of fraction computation and see fraction computation as more than rules and procedures. We will explore activities that will build concrete knowledge of each operation, explore multiple representations of each operation, leading to abstract application of each operation.
