Description:

One particularly stressful area for many students is the development of fraction understandings. This breakout is designed to give you lots of great ideas you can use to ensure fractions make more sense to your students. 

We will use a variety of visual and concrete models and a variety of open-ended questions to explore representing and comparing fractions.
