Event Description
Explorations in 4th & 5th Grade Fractions - Georgetown, KY - Cindy Aossey (2024-25)
If your students struggle to make sense of fractions, join KCM Director Cindy Aossey for this 3-day professional learning event that will change the way you think about - and teach - fractions and fractions operations! Too often fractions are considered scary or difficult; but, fractions are numbers! By helping students understand that fractions are numbers that expand our number system, we can help them connect their understanding of whole number operations to fraction operations.
During this 3-day, in-person course, teachers will:
1. Explore instructional strategies such as the use of manipulatives, fraction models (including number lines) and rich tasks that help students see fractions as numbers and understand fraction operations.
2. Deepen their understanding of the Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics, particularly the grades 4 and 5 fractions standards, seeing them as part of a progression starting in first grade and continuing into middle school.
3. Receive ready-to-use materials and manipulatives, including Pattern blocks, Cuisenaire Rods, books and games.
COST: $300 per participant
