- Lafayette Primary Center Teacher Workshop
- Aug 5, 2008

During this teacher workshop, we discussed the
pedagogical scaffolding involved in teaching any
math topic conceptually and did several related
hands-on activities. We talked about ways of
using math journals to help students to deepen
and become aware of their mathematical
learning. We brainstormed ideas for involving
parents in supporting student learning of math.
Finally, we examined the first quarter curriculum
at each grade level in light of the scaffolding
needed for conceptual understanding.
