Integrating Manipulatives To Improve Fraction Concepts, Rachel Dunn
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The aim of this session is to demonstrate the tools used to help reinforce and recreate students’ conceptual knowledge of fractions, specifically targeting the unit of reference. These manipulatives will provide teachers with instructional support for Common Core Standards, which emphasize critical thinking skills and various representations of knowledge, specifically with fractions.
