4-6How magical it would be to wave your wand and all your students would know their number facts, can multiply, divide, understand decimals and on and on??? With many students have gaps and unfinished learning, the Number Strand is getting a lot of focus this year. This session will look at how we can address some of the strategies we can use to address these gaps including manipulatives, games and resources to add to your pedagogical tool box. All resources will be shared with participants to use next day in class. It would be helpful for participants to have access to their own laptop, computer or Chromebook as you will be rolling up your sleeves and working alongside me!
All learning opportunities with the ERLC regional team will focus on the Alberta Education and district priority areas.
