Morning:Let's explore the evolution of reasoning from counting to proportional reasoning and beyond! This workshop will take teachers on a journey through the evolution of mathematical reasoning from kindergarten to grade 8 and beyond. Teachers and support staff will discover how reasoning begins with counting in kindergarten, kindergarten and grade 1.re year, and evolves to reasoning relations in 8e grade. Between these stages, we'll also explore additive, multiplicative and proportional reasoning.
Afternoon:Transforming the learning experience with outdoor learning This workshop will enable teachers and support staff to discover strategies and share ideas on integrating outdoor education to provide students with authentic experiences. The workshop will offer inspiring lessons in real-life settings that support student learning with the transformation of the learning experience.
