Description

Students often leave primary school and go into high school with misunderstandings or gaps in their knowledge of decimals, which makes it hard for them to continue to progress through mathematics.

This workshop explores the mathematics of decimals and why students have so many issues, difficulties and misconceptions. We will look at asessment to uncover the issues and activities that target the needs of students to overcome these difficulties.

Target audience: Years 5-9
