Continuing the development from the Overview and Four Operations course, this course focuses on the remaining key content areas of elementary level mathematics. It is designed for education therapists, special educators and elementary and secondary classroom teachers. Parents and those who consider themselves non-math majors are especially encouraged to enroll.
Topics include comprehensive methods for teaching full units in advanced place value, including exponents through the billions, fractions, including the 4 operations through mixed fractions, comparing and ordering fractions, as well as a comprehensive unit for reading and writing decimals, including the 4 operations through mixed decimals, comparing and ordering decimals on the number line. Extension and enrichment activities for each unit are presented.
Extensive color-coding is a critical element of the program. Please bring four colored markers or pencils in blue, green, red and black.
