Friday, April 11, 2014: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
Fountain Room (Hilton)
Lead Speaker:
Courtney Koestler


There is almost no attention to fractions in the primary grades in the Common Core State Standards, but young students need many opportunities to experience fractions in different contexts if they are to be successful in later grades. We will discuss why fractions should be introduced in the primary grades & how primary teachers can do so.
