518- Using Literature to Understand Numbers and Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Friday, April 11, 2014: 2:00 PM-3:00 PM
230 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Christopher Jett


Preservice teachers often have narrowly defined views about numbers and operations in general and algebraic thinking in particular. Conversely, many prospective teachers love to read and have an affinity towards children’s literature. This session highlights the pedagogical practices used to infuse literature to explore mathematical ideas.

Presentation Format: Preservice and In-Service Session
Grade Band Audience: Higher Education, Preservice and Inservice
