207- What Preservice Elementary Teachers Need to Learn about Fractions

Friday, November 21, 2014: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
332 AD (George R. Brown Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Jane F. Schielack


New elementary teachers need to be prepared to teach fractions as presented in new standards documents, a presentation that is different from how they learned. In this session, we will investigate multiple representations of fractions as numbers that can strengthen preservice elementary teachers' understanding of this critical content.

Presentation Format: Preservice and Inservice Session
Grade Band Audience: Preservice and Inservice
