Teaching Fractions Using an Explicit CRA Approach
How to bring research-based pedagogy into daily practice and transform a student’s understanding of fractions, decimals and percents.
Teaching fractions is often seen to be a difficult transition point, and one wherein we often resort to teaching formulae or procedures to arrive at answers devoid of understanding. Our languaging ends up inconsistent, our representations incomplete, and many multisensory tools show just one (sometimes inaccurate) component of a fraction, a decimal or a percentage.
Imagine being able to bring understanding to the abstract symbols and language of fractions, taking your knowledge of teaching English and applying it to maths.
In this webinar you will learn the simplicity of teaching fractions using an explicit concrete - representational - abstract approach and a consistent multi-sensory tool that boosts student understanding, engagement, and mastery.
