This one day course is designed for teachers of K–3 Mathematics. The workshop explores the five big ideas in Patterns K–3.
The big ideas in patterns thread through the various sub-strands of the curriculum. They embrace a large proportion of the separate content descriptors for each year level. So each big idea helps in thinking about many topics in the curriculum. Focusing on the big ideas can also help integrate the different strands. In particular, patterns can link many ideas in Number and Geometry.
In this K–3 hands-on workshop teachers will explore the following questions:
Participants in this course will work with MANSW’s K–8 Professional Learning Consultant who will facilitate discussion, link research to practical classroom activities and engage participants in activities that can be used in the classroom.
