MA184043 Numbers Make Sense (Hilo Hybrid Course)
PDE3 Section #293850: HSTA Spring 2019
Dates: February 23, 2019 – May 31, 2019
Math is a core subject in which we want our students to achieve mastery in prior to graduating from public education in Hawaiʻi. This course is based on Jerome Bruner’s C-P-A approach which allows students to learn mathematics through concrete experiences in which they can transfer pictorially and then abstractly to be more fluent with number relationships. This course offers teachers a way in which to facilitate learning of mathematical number sense so that students gain higher level complex thinking and understandings. Numbers Make Sense provides a concrete way to help all your students be critical thinkers and problem solvers. This hybrid course section will meet on Feb. 23 and March 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., location in Hilo to be determined.
