Description
Solid and flexible thinking in number and place value are essential for students. This workshop will provide teachers with trialled and tested interactive strategies to allow for whole-class engagement, the value of Number Talks as well as practical classroom ideas for differentiation and assessment. You will leave with ideas and resources you can use in your classroom the next day!
Each participant will receive copies of the case studies supporting these strategies.
