The CCSS set a clear goal for students to develop an understanding of the structure of mathematics and the connections between various ideas. Fractions, decimals and percents are often taught separately resulting in students’ lack of understanding. In this workshop teachers will experience specific, practical, mini-lessons focused on making connections among fractions, decimals and percents. We will explore specific concepts, strategies, tools, and models to support the development of fluency with rational number. This rigorous, minds-on session will:

• • Examine fractions, decimals and percents from a structural perspective
• • Provide math routines that develop fluency when computing with fractions,
  
  • decimals and percents
• • Consider the connections among fractions, decimals and percents
• • Introduce the use of models that help students make sense of fractions,
  
  • decimals and percents
• • Give teachers an opportunity to practice using the models, routines and
  
  • strategies in order to cultivate their capacity to use them as teaching tools
• • Video examples of specific mini-lessons and routines will be highlighted

I'm so moved by these workshops. Thank you!
