Do The Math (Gr 5-8)

Getting some things wrong in Math isn't a big deal… you can always learn them later, while still doing well on everything else now. But other things are so important that their loss means the learner is handicapped at learning new ideas. Sometimes, you can't let weak understandings slide. Enter the need for Targeted Intervention in Math. ***Based on the work of Marilyn Burns, This session will focus on Interventions related to Multiplying & Dividing, and Fractions. Teaching math would be easy if everybody came to our classes with all the pre-requisites mastered. But kids arrive with missing or incomplete understandings, and often those gaps and holes make them unable to learn the new ideas. So we need to find and fill those gaps and holes ... on the fly.
