Workshop 1.1

Developing the use of models and images in mathematics
 
Summary:
 
Within this module I address in a practical way, the usefulness of multisensory activities for enhancing the teaching and learning within number contexts. Emphasis is placed upon the appropriate use of models and images for developing conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts, enabling the learner to engage mentally with the maths and develop a mental image of the process.
Overview:
  •  Developing a sense of number
  • The importance of mental imagery
  • Structured and non-structured apparatus
  • Active vs passive learning opportunities
  • Practical examples of apparatus in action
