How can we make understanding fractions, decimals, & percents easier? We explore how benchmark numbers such as 0, 1/2, & 1 are powerful tools allowing students to reason abstractly & quantitatively. You’ll leave with ways your students can use benchmarks for number sense & understand how you can incorporate these ideas in the classroom tomorrow!
