Lead Speaker:
Courtney Nelson
When children begin using fractional symbols and thinking, they need to assimilate their concepts of whole number to make room for rational numbers. The speaker will investigate some of the pivotal phases of understanding for children as they think about using the same "old" number symbols in new ways, and why identifying the whole unit matters.
