Using Visuals to Develop Conceptual Understanding: Number Line Concepts is a half-day, face-to-face workshop designed to help adult numeracy teachers appreciate how number lines are important visual representations, spanning levels and domains in the College and Career Ready Standards for Adult Education (CCRSAE). In addition, teachers will look at student work and discuss ways to integrate number lines into the classroom.
- All adult numeracy teachers
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
Number lines are an important visual representation of foundational number concepts. They show up at every level and across mathematical domains. In this half-day, face-to-face workshop, we will look at how number lines can help students develop these basic concepts and how they can be applied to real world, career, and mathematical contexts. You will have the opportunity to examine and discuss student work and explore number line activities that could be used in the classroom.
- May 11, 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. (half-day, face-to-face)
To receive a certificate of completion, participants must attend the face-to-face-session. For more information, please contact Mollie Behan (mollie_behan@terc.edu).
