In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the concept of fractions by arranging cards depicting various fractions along a number line. Each student will play a role in problem-solving, observation, and note-taking, facilitating a deeper understanding of fractions and their representation. The session will encourage discussions on assessing student understanding through various methods and incorporating diverse models in the classroom. Participants will reflect on the significance of collaboration and negotiation in learning and how to effectively implement these strategies in their teaching.

Minds On: Walk the Line • You will each receive a card with a fraction represented as a picture, a number, or words. • Arrange yourself in order along the number line.
Minds On • What did you observe while you were collectively solving this problem? • How would you “morph” this to do it in your classroom? • How does using various models and allowing students to negotiate their position on the number line facilitate their understanding of both number lines and the size of fractions?
Action • In a group of four, identify who will be A, B, C, and D
Action • In a group of four, identify who will be A, B, C, and D • A and B will be doing some problem solving • C will be writing down observations of what the pair are doing • D will be scribing as much as possible of what A and B are saying
The Problem • How would you share 3 brownies between 4 children?
From Growing Success • “Teachers will obtain assessment information through a variety of means, which may include formal and information observations, discussions, learning conversations, questioning, conferences…”
Action: Pair, Square • Partner A and C will join with partner B and D from another group. Partner A will bring the chart paper from the group. • Each person will record their own notes from the following group discussion.
Action: Pair, Square Discuss the following: • What information could you assess through observation? • What questions could you ask of students to assess understanding (conversations)? • What could you learn about the “students” from the student work?
Consolidation • Group discussion
Reflection: For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store. Isaac Bashevis Singer
