Explorations in 3rd Grade Fractions

Course Description:

• Grade 3 is a critical year in which students should develop strong conceptual foundations for understanding fractions.
• During this 1-day training course, teachers will explore hands-on activities and tasks aligned to the Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics designed to support students in developing conceptual understandings of fractions as numbers.
• Teachers will deepen their understanding of the third grade fractions standards, seeing them as part of a progression starting in first grade and continuing into middle school.
• Participants will receive prepared materials and manipulatives, including fraction squares, Cuisenaire rods and KNP-IG activities.

Cost: $100/participant
