Many students are not aware of the relationship between fractions and decimals. This workshop suggests ways to help students to see and make connections between the two. It will also focus on the misconceptions that kids have regarding decimals and will work through examples of meaningful activities to promote a deeper understanding of decimals as an extension of our place value system. It will also look at decimals as fractions with special rules.

This session is based on the work of Cathy Fosnot and First Steps in Math. It aligns with the intent and spirit of the current Mathematics curriculum.
