319- Understanding Fraction Computation by Applying and Extending Previous Understandings

Friday, April 11, 2014: 8:00 AM-9:15 AM
210 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Julie McNamara


The Common Core State Standards call for students to “apply and extend previous understandings” of whole numbers and fraction equivalence as they move into computation with fractions. We will share video of lessons designed to help students build on what they know, address common challenges that they encounter, and develop deep understanding of fraction computation.
