Paint by Numbers: Frameworks for Building Mathematical Understanding (K-9)
Thursday February 6, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MST
We develop our Frameworks over the years, through education, exploration, and experience, creating an ever-more complex map of How Things Work that lets us be fluent with the ideas and operations we know, and helps us to learn and adapt to the new things we encounter. They help us become confident, powerful learners ready to take on new challenges. This session will explore a few of the key Big Ideas of Number, and examine how to Frame those ideas in ways that Learners can use to build increasingly-complex understandings of Number.. We will follow the learner as those initial tools and tactics are leveraged into helping to develop increasingly complex ways of handling number, from simply counting and organizing to developing Additive thinking, Multiplicative thinking, and to dealing with ever-increasing complexity in the numbers themselves… bigger numbers, decimals, fractions and integers.

Here’s a great entry point for thinking, speaking and problem solving! Riddles and unsolvable problems contain clues, mysteries, and thought-provoking opportunities seen as ‘play’, but in reality they encourage complex cognitive investment. Along with developing valuable language-manipulation skills, riddles and unsolvable puzzles support higher level thinking, literacy and numeracy competencies, and promote subject-specific skills. Teachers will walk away with a number of riddles and puzzles that encourage students to engage in oral language, problem solving, and critical thinking. Join us for a puzzlingly good time!
