When you cook rice, what is the proportion of rice to water you use? Come experience how having students explore this question can lead them to understand the concept of ratios as a relationship between quantities.
The SABES Program Support and Math and Adult Numeracy C & I PD Centers are pleased to partner to provide this session. The first hour will focus on the lesson that Math PD specialist and teacher Connie Rivera used with her students. You will experience the activity as a learner and hear about the background of the activity. She will review how to make a chart or graph in Google Sheets, and you will have hands-on time to create charts and discuss together with the group how you might use a similar activity in your class.
The last half hour is reserved for your questions about other digital literacy, distance education, or blended learning topics. It will help us to prepare if you could please post your questions to our Coffee Hour Padlet by April 18.
