Extending the most recent Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching article, Whole number and fraction connections: Iteration and partitioning, we plan to explore whole number and fractions tasks while making connections between elementary age students’ iterating and partitioning.
In this session, participants will explore how preschool and kindergarten students enumerate and represent different arrangements for six when engaged with subitizing. We will discuss how their counting, estimating, subitizing, structuring, and groupitizing explain their number development.
Yes, you CAN teach algebra before addition! Together, we will explore the progression of algebraic thinking standards, discuss ways to integrate flexible thinking in daily routines, and embrace the power of teaching algebraic reasoning alongside primary grade mathematics.
Help young learners fall in love with math by building joyful, resilient classrooms. Explore how teacher language, routines, and instructional choices foster confidence, curiosity, perseverance, risk-taking, and positive mathematical identities in early learning.
Step into the role of young learner to experience mathematics in a new way—through playful tasks that invite reasoning, not step-following. Unpack the tasks to see how affect and sense-making help us design experiences that support diverse learners.
