It's fractions season in our upper grade classrooms. But what is a "fractional unit"? Why is "2 out of 3" not a good way to describe the fraction 2/3? Where do fractions live on the number line, and why is that important? In this session, math coach Kim Van Duzer and 3rd grade teacher Sara Thorne will walk you through the models, language and concepts surrounding fractions in 3rd grade math homework.  We'll offer suggestions for ways to approach fractions concepts with your child, and spend some time doing sample problems and clarifying understandings.

Grade 3 workshop: Tuesday, March 10th, 8:35-9:15 am, PS 29 Cafeteria
