Why this workshop:
Fractions, decimals, and ratios are foundational concepts in mathematics, yet many students struggle to see how these parts connect to the whole. This workshop equips educators with practical, research‑based strategies to help students build conceptual understanding and fluency across these topics. Participants will use concrete, representational, and abstract models to support outcomes in fractions, decimals, and proportions. The session emphasizes connections among fractions, decimals, and ratios, showing how these skills support higher‑level math learning and everyday applications. Educators will leave with ready‑to‑use tools and approaches to make these concepts accessible for all learners.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Strengthen understanding of the relationships among fractions, decimals, and ratios
- Engage with the CRA sequence, using concrete tools, visual representations, and symbolic reasoning to increase students’ conceptual understanding
- Practice problem‑solving routines that build fluency and confidence
- Learn techniques to connect these skills to real‑world contexts and advanced math topics
- Develop classroom activities that support diverse learners in mastering these foundational concepts
