NCTM presentation in Anaheim.
Luz Maldonado and I (and Erin Turner, in absentia) presented at the recent NCTM conference on “Challenging Content, Challenging Students: Supporting Student Engagement in Learning Fractions and Ratios.” In this session we discussed our work teaching a couple of after-school classes with fifth graders from a mix of achievement levels, with a special focus on the students who had been singled out as low-achieving. We’ve posted our handouts here for you to download (Powerpoint and MS Word files):
Sample problems: Sample problems from our fractions unit.
Teaching principles for struggling students: Teaching Principles
Some of the readings that have informed our work: Readings/References
