Description: 

The Conceptual Building Blocks is designed to build a teacher’s capacity to work with students in various settings.  The approach is rooted in a concrete--semi-concrete--abstract (CSA) methodology of teaching and develops conceptual understanding along the way to procedural understanding.  This two-day module focuses on building fraction sense, operations with fractions, connections to decimals, and addressing misconceptions. Participants will also learn how to incorporate several High-Leverage Practices for Special Education into their instruction on fractions.

Attendance at BOTH days is REQUIRED.
