This manipulatives-based training is designed to provide opportunities for educators to add more tools to their math toolboxes. The day’s work will focus on using hands-on materials to help students build a conceptual model of the mathematics they are learning, based on the CRA (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) model advocated by Van de Walle and other researchers.
If your school has a closet of manipulatives that aren’t being used, this workshop is for you!
