K-3 Number Sense: Setting our Students up for Success in Grade 4
How can we support our Primary students as they enter Intermediate grades? By looking at the grade 4 math curriculum and tracing the concepts and strategies back down through Primary grades, we can highlight the 'continuum of learning' students need in number sense to grasp the new concepts of large numbers, fractions, decimals, multiplication and division. We'll then try out activities that build number sense - counting collections, number talks, choral counting and math games - that we can use in our classrooms daily. Masters of all activities will be provided.
Target Audience
Elementary school teachers (K-7)
To Bring/Important Notes
