Exploring Math Concepts through Concrete Manipulatives
Unlock the power of understanding in your math classroom! Join us for an engaging workshop designed for educators looking to elevate their teaching strategies in secondary math. We'll dive into using concrete manipulatives to teach key concepts, providing students with a tangible foundation that builds confidence and fosters a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.
In this hands-on experience, you will learn how to effectively transition your students from concrete representations to visual models and eventually to abstract concepts. By moving through these stages, you'll empower your learners to grasp the "why" behind traditional algorithms, ensuring they have a robust understanding of the why and how of mathematics.
Get ready to explore innovative approaches that will inspire both you and your students. Together, let's turn complex math concepts into approachable, memorable, and impactful learning experiences.
[Audience: 6-12 math teachers, interventionists]
