This session will engage participants in mathematical strategies including Choral Counting, Math Sentence Frames, and Mental Maths as applied to the content area of fractions. These strategies were successfully utilised as a part of the AVID Myer Maths Project. Participants will also explore activities focused on fundamental understandings of fractions such as equal parts of the whole, paper folding, and the set, area, and number line models for fractions.
This session will give participants the opportunity to understand how to implement and apply collaborative study groups within their classrooms. The Collaborative Study Groups model supports students as they identify a specific question from any content area; collaborate to develop and deepen their understanding through Socratic inquiry, and apply their new learning to enhance classroom performance.
