Workshops B1 & C1
Connecting concepts for all learners: getting the most from your concrete materials (repeated)
Are you making the most of your concrete materials to encourage mathematical thinking in your classroom? In this workshop, Anita will demonstrate how teachers can take student learning to the next level by connecting their use of concrete materials to rich mathematical language, visual models and written recordings in the classroom.

Participants will become the ‘students’ to experience what deep mathematical thinking looks, sounds and feels like when learning number concepts with concrete materials commonly found in most classrooms. You will be able to use these classroom-ready tasks with confidence immediately. Make it, say it, draw it, write it! Blackline masters and an e-folder of resources will be provided.
