Workshop A2
How to build basic fact strategies from conceptual understanding – rather than gimmicks!
When many of us went through school, education was via rote learning and success was based on your ability to recall information. Nowadays, fact fluency is much more than the memorisation of isolated facts. Students need to see connections between and among facts. They need visual representations to help form a ‘mind picture’ that connects to a thinking strategy. This session will model appropriate visual aids that help students to master the basic facts, with understanding! Attendees will leave with practical activities and games to use immediately in their classrooms.
