CTLE: 1.5 credits per session

PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE:

  • the bead string model as a tool to develop reasoning in addition and subtraction.
  • a learning trajectory of strategy development in addition and subtraction.
  • video examples of how the model can be used to develop strategies in addition and subtraction. Transcripts will be used to highlight student strategies and teaching techniques.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEAVE WITH:

  • access to our NEW Virtual Bead String APP.
  • a learning trajectory of strategy development in addition and subtraction and ways to think about using this tool in planning their own bead string lessons.
