Description: Teachers will use many varied new and favorite manipulatives as they investigate math concepts selected from several of the grades three through five Massachusetts Mathematics Learning Standards. We will also explore the math behind the math to help deepen teachers’ own math concepts. Through discussion, we will also identify other content and skill areas that workshop teachers would like to investigate further. Handouts for future reference will be provided.
