Stop the "Fraction Friction": Hands-On Success with CRA

Fractions are often the biggest hurdle in K-8 math, but they don’t have to be. Join this high-impact PD to transform how your students "see" numbers. We’ll master the CRA (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) model, using fraction tiles to turn student confusion into "aha!" moments. In this interactive session, you will: ● Bridge the Gap: Transition students seamlessly from physical tiles to sketches and finally to abstract algorithms. ● Integrate Tools: Learn how tiles "talk" to number lines and area models for a cohesive curriculum. ● Ready-to-Use Strategies: Leave with a toolkit of "Monday-ready" activities designed for immediate classroom impact. Move beyond math "tricks" and build lasting conceptual power. Whether you’re introducing halves or dividing complex fractions, you’ll leave with the tools to make math click for every learner. Let’s turn your toughest unit into your students' greatest success!
