Fraction Progressions: How to Use What Your Students Already Know to Solve Rich Math Performance Tasks

students

Thank you for joining us for the Exemplars webinar Fraction Progressions: How to Use What Your Students Already Know to Solve Rich Math Performance Tasks.

During our session, we explored the facilitation of fraction instruction in the classroom using a variety of methods, such as:

  • the Five Practices: anticipating, monitoring, selecting, sequencing, and connecting
  • performance tasks 
  • mathematical solutions  
  • teacher tools to foster conceptual understanding 

We're excited to share some of our favorite resources below. Give them a try in your classroom!
