Grades 3 – 5
Room 103
Presenter: Sandy Szako, ORIGO Education Learning Services Educator

This session models the use of conceptually-based thinking games and innovative visual models focused on using the multiplication and division strategies to solve problems with basic facts and beyond. The learning outcome will be that multiplication and division facts can be taught through strategies instead of memorization leading to more flexible thinking beyond the basic facts.

Grades K – 5
Room 202 C
Presenter: James Burnett, ORIGO Education Founder and CEO

Fact fluency is more than the memorization of isolated facts. Students need to see connections among facts. They need visual representations to help form a ‘mind picture’ that connects to a thinking strategy. This session will model appropriate visual aids that help students to master the basic facts – with understanding!
