[Grades 5-9] Rational Thinking, Irrational Results: Building Number Sense in the Middle Grades (IMPACTS-MS)
Join us as we bring the number line to life to unlock the number system! In this session, we will use this tool to explore how rational and irrational numbers evolve across middle grades, trace key standards, and see how the number system expands over time. You will learn how to use the number line as a powerful tool to identify misconceptions and support unfinished learning with clarity and confidence.
Come and explore strategies to move students to deeper understanding of rational and irrational numbers, including fractions, decimals, percents, and integers.
* In-Person participants are invited to come 15 minutes early and enjoy a continental breakfast.
