Making Math Real: Fractions, Decimals, and Advanced Place Value

X302.2 (4 semester units in Education)

MMR is a developmental program in which each new mathematical development directly builds the foundation for the next.

Fractions and their related applications are required tools for successful mathematical processing through calculus. This course provides you with effective, hands-on strategies that finally make fractions, decimals, and advanced-place value meaningful and accessible for all students. It is designed for educational therapists, special educators, and elementary and secondary classroom teachers. Parents and those who consider themselves non-math majors are encouraged to enroll.

Topics include comprehensive methods for teaching full units in advanced-place value, including exponents through the billions; fractions, including the four concepts, the four operations through mixed fractions, comparing and ordering; and a comprehensive unit for reading and writing decimals, including the four operations through mixed decimals, comparing and ordering, and decimals on the number line. Extensive color-coding is a critical element of the program. Please bring four colored markers or pencils in blue, green, red, and black.
