=Math Menu Session: Effective Uses of Concrete Learning Tools=

This two day series will provide grades 7 to 10 teachers with opportunities to learn about manipulatives and online learning tools and to co-plan 3-part lessons that feature these learning tools.

The sessions are facilitated by:
 * Susanna Martellacci x24373
 * Dorota Jakubowska x24188

The sessions are:
 * April 16, 2012 @ CEC Room 301 (Code 60)
 * May 1, 2012 @ CEC Room 301 (Code 60)

Next Steps:

 * Find and organize the manipulatives at your school.
 * Make use of manipulatives for the expectations that contain "through investigation" or "using a variety of tools and strategies"
 * Contine to implement 3 part lessons to become proficient with the expected practice

Online Resources to Support Manipulatives

 * CLIPS ([|www.mathclips.ca]) for integer & fraction concept and linear growing patterns
 * Math GAINS website ([|www.edugains.ca]) has videos on using manipulatives in the Learning Resources section of Math Gains. Look for Manipulative Supports link.
