20- The NUMBER LINE? For Addition? Subtraction? Multiplication? And Division? HOW?

Thursday, October 30, 2014: 8:00 AM-9:15 AM

Lead Speaker:
Libby S. Pollett


Why do the Common Core standards keep suggesting we use number lines to teach basic fraction operations over and over? What's the BIG DEAL?

Sharp pencils are encouraged.
