| Partitioning - the key to developing fraction knowledge and confidence in budding mathematicians (repeated) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| A significant number of students in the middle years find it extremely difficult to understand and apply more formal ideas related to common fractions, decimals, percentage and ratio. So how can we as educators support young mathematical minds to make these ideas stick? In this workshop, you'll be given a range of useful classroom strategies and techniques to develop fraction knowledge and confidence in students from the early years to the middle years of their schooling. Participants will delve into the important role of partitioning to bridge the gap between informal and formal fraction ideas. | |||
