TCC Master Class: Math Makes Sense
We all know that making sense of math is the goal of every teacher, principal, and parent. But have you ever thought about what this really means in terms of what WE were taught in school?
This session will blow your mind as Ivan Alba helps you see “what you didn't know you didn't know.” Find out how math can be taught so students truly understand it visually, conceptually, and making connections to higher math learning.
As a result of this session you will:
• Be able to identify the two models of division and the “questions” that pertain to each model
• Understand why the standard algorithm for division with whole numbers looks different from how we were taught
• Be prepared to create visual representations for each model of division by fractions
• Determine what elementary and middle school algorithms directly support algebra in high school
• Learn mental models that empower both students and teachers to understand and love math more than ever
