About the event
Interpreting word problems is often a difficult task for many students. In this PL you will learn about our innovative additive thinking unit which is designed to transform the way students aged 6-15 years, engage with whole number operations (+, -). We will unveil the deep connections between mathematics and language for the teaching and learning of arithmetic and will explore:
the structure of additive thinking and not just teach how to do calculations.
a groundbreaking coordination between mathematical structure and English grammar
how to construct, interpret, and reason with simple number sentences, and to master the basic additive thinking concepts DIFFERENCE, ADDITION, and SUBTRACTION.
how to use a color-coding system for numerals that facilitates rich mathematical dialogue and deep understanding of how additive thinking is used in the world.
