PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MATTERS

This interactive session will explore ways to develop students' number sense to deepen an understanding of concepts within number such as place value and different strategies to add, subtract, multiply and divide. We will compare a conceptual approach to learning maths to more traditional methods, and see some examples of questioning, manipulatives and games to engage students in learning about numbers. Examples will primarily come from students aged 6-8 year olds, but the ideas can be adapted for older and younger students.
