Best Practices & Best Ways to Practice!

Join us as we use visual models to make sense of place value, operations, algorithms, word problems, and fractions. But fluency doesn’t come from great strategies alone. We will also explore best ways to practice, including clever puzzles and games that develop both fluency and reasoning skills. Math – and you – will never be the same!

When: March 16, 2017 from 4:30 - 7:30pm
