The aim of this workshop is to raise awareness and discuss tools for preparing students for, and teaching, fractions. Fractions are among the most difficult topics in primary school mathematics, and arguably across all of K–12. We will explore why fractions are so challenging and suggest how intentional preparation in the early years can be a game changer. Morning tea will be provided.
