Lead Speaker:

We will examine the development of fraction understanding (grades 3–5) as described in the Common Core State Standards. Using problem-solving tasks and activities, we will focus on the transition from thinking of fractions as “parts of a shape” to numbers and on the new emphasis placed on the use of unit fractions and number lines.
Presentation Format: 3-5 Session
Grade Band Audience: 3 to 5
