This 3-week module explores how data and statistics concepts are developed in grades 4 through 7. Specific goals and activities include the following: Gain familiarity with the data and statistics standards and learning progressions Identify statistical vs. non-statistical questions and scenarios Learn how to select appropriate representations for data and appropriate statistical measure to describe a […]
This 3-week module investigates conceptually related and interdependent ideas about geometric shapes, geometric structure, and spatial relationships. Geometry is a particularly relevant area of mathematics for young children, who are naturally curious about their physical world. Specific goals and activities including the following: Examine properties and categorization of two-dimensional shapes Explore composition and decomposition of geometric shapes Develop a deeper understanding of spatial […]
This 3-week module examines learning progressions in geometry with a focus on foundational ideas that promote geometric understanding. Specific goals and activities include the following: Recognize geometric shapes and their components (e.g., sides, angles, faces) Learn properties of geometric figures and categorization based on those properties Develop strategies for composing and decomposing geometric shapes Engage […]
This course explores how a solid understanding of fraction concepts lays the foundation for students to successfully work with ratios and proportions. Specific goals include: Recognize how learning fraction progressions prepare students to work with ratios/proportions. Solve fraction, ratio, and proportion problems in multiple ways. Develop an awareness of misconceptions related to fraction/ratio/proportions and examine […]
