Primary Math Classroom Practices to Support Coherent Understanding and Application of New Learning

Description

Well-meaning educators over time have formulated certain "rules" and/or mnemonics to help children learn basic math topics. However, some of these rules become obsolete or inaccurate as students progress to more advanced math concepts in subsequent grade levels. This session examines those problematic rules and suggests alternative approaches.
