In this presentation, we begin linear modeling of fractions at the concrete stage with physical materials (Cuisenaire rods), transitioning to number lines to represent fractions and operations with fractions. Finally, we introduce the abstract paper-and-pencil algorithms that directly represent the mathematics that happened at the concrete level.
Presentation Format: 6-8 Workshop
