23 JUN 2019 · In this energetic presentation, educator Katie Foster talks about how she helps her students develop powerful relationships with mathematics, with each other and with their learning.

20 JUN 2019 · How do parents and teachers from developing countries promote math at home? What are their beliefs and attitudes towards math and how do those experiences help young children learn math? This presentation offers insights into the home and instructional activities that occur in Chilean families and classrooms as well as the factors that promote learning of early numeracy in children.

20 JUN 2019 · In this Counting on Teachers session, Ulster University researcher, Victoria Simms, explores the results of a systematic review investigating interventions to improve mathematical achievement in primary school classrooms. She reviews and summarizes International evidence but also draws attention to the lack of robust evidence.

20 JUN 2019 · Children often struggle to make sense of fractions. These difficulties start early and can persist into middle school and high school. In this presentation, Ontario educator and Carleton University PhD student, Heather Douglas helps us thinking making sense of fractions with our students

20 JUN 2019 · The transition from additive to multiplicative thinking has been argued to be one of the major barriers to learning mathematics in the middle years. Although multiplication as an expectation only begins to appear in the middle or junior division, the foundation for its understanding begins in kindergarten. Patrick McLeod is from the Catholic DSB of Eastern Ontario and in this presentation he will look at the trajectory of learning as students move from subitizing (expectation in Full-Day Kindergarten) to binomial distribution (expectation in grade 10).

20 JUN 2019 · Children struggle with mathematics because of various reasons (e.g., lack of practice, lack of motivation). Some of them may suffer from cognitive deficits which deter them from acquiring certain math skills. These children are described as having mathematical difficulties (MD). Various cognitive deficits seem to be related with MD. However, we have yet to know whether different cognitive deficits constitute different subtypes of MD. Dr. Winnie Chan from the University of Hong Kong presents to the Counting on Teachers Forum.
