Manipulatives and Conferencing and Pearson Oh My ! COURSE DESCRIPTION: Focus on providing many opportunities for hands -on learning and daily student conferences while digging deeper into Pearson concepts and still allowing time for independent practice. We will work through many objectives such as measurement and problem solving so that our students will construct their own cognitive models for abstract mathematical ideas and processes. This process will also engage students so that they develop a long-term interest and enjoyment for math! Together we will collaborate, create examples of hands-on activities, and develop lessons within Pearson that help students have a deeper understanding of the intended objective. WHAT TO BRING: Please bring a laptop or tablet and Pearson Teaching Editions (or access to Pearson Online).
