On-Demand
Workshop Session #13
Grades 3 – 5
Room: OnDemand 12
Presenter: Melinda Schwartz, ORIGO Education Learning Services Educator

Through activities and discussion, participants will explore strategies for multiplication and division that build number sense and computational fluency. A strategies-based approach prepares students for success beyond the basic fact range. The strategies and resources in this session will empower teachers with interactive activities for students.

4:30 – 5:30 PM EST

Just Give Them the Facts – But with Understanding Rather than Gimmicks!

Live Session
Session #63
Grades Pre-K – 2
Room: Live 4
Presenter: James Burnett, ORIGO Education Founder

Chants, raps, fidgets, and drill/kill exercises have all been used to help students master basic facts. But students don’t need gimmicks. They need a strategy they understand and one that can be extended to greater numbers. This session will show how to introduce, reinforce, practice and extend the three most widely used addition fact strategies.

Live Session
Burst #128
Grades Pre-K – 2
Room: Live 1
Presenters: Kimberly Morrow Leong with Sara Delano Moore, ORIGO Education Director of Professional Learning

There are many exciting and engaging picture books that feature mathematical topics already available on the market, but somehow still aren’t enough. In this session we will share five strategies you can use to find and explore the mathematics in your class’ favorite books, the books that you read every year.

On Demand
Grades 3 – 5
Workshop Session 457
Room: OnDemand 12
Presenter: Debi DePaul

How students interpret a fraction affects how they think about the meaning of the numerator and denominator. This session is intended to help teachers and coaches strengthen the link between fraction research and the classroom by guiding participants through a formative assessment framework for teaching and learning mathematics.
