Upper Primary Numeracy Evening

As a way to reach out to students, my department decided to host a Numeracy Evening for parents of our students. Each teacher in the department (S3 and S4 in one area, S5 and S6 in another) taught a math concept that we thought the parents would benefit from learning too. I know it was tricky to learn all of the methods that we teach nowadays, so I'm sure some parents are really confused by their kids homework. Here are some of the stations we taught in S3 and S4:
Ms. Levere: division with sharing
Mrs. L: chunking method
Miss P: the grid method
Miss T: partitioning
Mrs. A: adding and subtracting on a number line
Mrs. D: different ways to use a 100 chart


Mrs. D used one of our favourite online resources that we use a lot in the first few weeks of school. Check it out here: Splat Square.

Although there weren't many parents in attendance, they were all really pleased with the information they received.
