About this Learning Opportunity

Are you using models in your class for teaching numeracy, and if so, are you using them to their full potential? We will start by examining the theory behind models, including the work of Jerome Bruner, and then focus on models you can use in your classroom, starting at the kindergarten level. We will focus on ten-frames, number lines, arrays, and bead strings.

Why this is an important session: It explores the important tool of modeling in the teaching of numeracy concepts.

What will be the learning: The importance of using models, key models that can be used, and how to use them.

Focus: Basic numeracy concepts.

Takeaway: Teachers will have a better understanding of why and how to use models in their classroom. (Grade K-6)
