Dr. Anne M. Collins will be leading a workshop on Saturday, March 9th on Rational Numbers: Hard to Teach, Harder to Learn.
The workshop begins at 9am at University Hall, 1815 Massachusetts Ave located in Porter Square.
In this workshop participants will explore visual representations of
rational numbers that seamlessly develops an understanding of the slope
of a line. We will examine bar diagrams and graphing ratios. Graphing
ratios on the Cartesian coordinate plans allows participants to connect
slope to linear equations. Problems involving proportions can also be
solved using the Cartesian plane. This novel approach is required in the
CCSS and the 2011 Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
Cost is $50 per participant and there is still room available!
