A first step toward more effective math instruction is to move away from an emphasis on teaching computation as a series of rote rules and memorizing facts. Carole will teach you how to develop students’ true understanding of computation so as to apply their thinking to solving new problems.
In order to better meet the needs of ALL students, we will explore numerous strategies for solving computation problems, including: composing and decomposing numbers, splitting or branching numbers, compensation, open number lines, the area model for multiplication of whole numbers and fractions, and many more. The strategies will help develop student comprehension of computation through a conceptual understanding of what to do and why.

Workshop Objectives:

-- Learn to teach computation with emphasis on place value understanding and the properties of operations, as recommended by Common Core State  Standards for Mathematics.
