A Unifying Theme of the Washington State Mathematics Learning Standards (CCSS). This 4-day workshop engages teachers across grades 4 – 14 as learners while modeling fully the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) that are at the heart of the CCSS.

Rational Numbers (MEC)

Workshop will be held at North Thurston School District (Board Room)

305 College Street NE

Lacey, WA 98516

 

The sessions focus heavily on the Core Rational Numbers Content from grades 4-6 as a necessary foundation if middle and high school students are to be successful with the grades 6-8 rational numbers content standards. 

This work is based on an understanding that in order to understand students' thinking and teach in ways responsive to their thinking, teachers need a deep understanding of rational numbers while modeling appropriate mathematical pedagogy. Participants engage as independent problem solvers and in small collaborative groups with tasks that are classroom appropriate.  Assessment practices that optimize student learning are modeled.
