2-part series
Fractions in the Real World
Dr. Sara Delano Moore
Presented by Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D.
Director of Professional Learning, ORIGO Education
Fractions can be a painful topic for students (and their families). Learning about fractions sometimes means funny rules that don’t make sense and work that is not connected to the real world. In reality, fractions are part of our everyday lives, even when fractional numbers do not appear. In addition, EVERYTHING we do in mathematics should make sense, including fractions. This two-part series of edWebinars will highlight fractions in our everyday lives. The January session will focus on time and money, while the February session will focus on sharing and scaling.
These edWebinars will be of particular benefit to elementary level teachers and school leaders. There will be time for Sara to answer your questions at the end of her presentations.

Why do students sometimes think there are 15 cents in a quarter or that “quarter past” is 25 minutes after the hour? The language of fractions is tightly connected to the language of time and money. This session will explore these connections, including some of the challenges students face and the learning opportunities they provide. Join Sara to explore a variety of models and strategies to help students connect fractions with time and money. Read more.

Discounts and price increases. Sharing with friends. Scaling art up and down. Each of these situations is an opportunity to apply and understand fractions. This session will explore these connections, including some of the challenges students face and the learning opportunities they provide. Join Sara to explore a variety of models and strategies to help students connect fractions with sharing and scaling. Read more.
