About this Learning Opportunity

Engage your students with interactive Gizmos simulations that make fractions fun and understandable! Join us as we spotlight curriculum-aligned Gizmos resources for upper elementary. Understand how they can be effectively used in your classroom to support learners with fraction basics such as unit fractions, equivalence, and operations with fractions. We’ll explore simulations that can be integrated immediately into your fraction unit. Alberta Education provides K-6 teachers with access to Gizmos.
