Ditch the Rules!
And teach math for understanding
"I just don't get it!"
Often times, we struggle to teach students any other way of calculating a math process because we do not fully understand the concept. Many of us teach the way we were taught because it worked for us, and in fact, it works for many of our students! But many of those same students cannot answer the "why" certain algorithms work.
Participants will gain instructional knowledge to teach the computation of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals so that students can understand "why."
