**Overflowing - NOW CLOSED!! ** || Faster, Stronger, Higher (Linda Larsen) Just like the olympic motto we need to be moving our students faster through the stages with stronger knowledge and higher thinking strategies. How do we do this? I will share some tips and ideas to move students through from additive to multiplicative thinking. || Rob (MPS) Tracie (MPS) Alex (MPS) Pete (MPS) Gerard (MIS) David (MIS) Jenny Clements (Kuranui) Ann Marie (Te Poi) Jade (MIS) Trena Kent (MIS) || Karen C (Wairere) Katreena (Kuranui) Tracie (Kuranui) Kristina (MPS) Jeanette M (Firth) Lesley J Firth Fiona Firth Lisa Firth Carla Firth Jemma (St Joes) Emile (MIS) || Alison M (Wairere) Carolyn (MPS) Sue D.

 * 40 minutes to understand decimals (Dean McDonnell) Understanding decimals is one of the keys to unlocking stage six. I’ll share the sort of session I have done with many groups that seems to get them on the move with decimals. From “no idea” to adding them in one session! || Why do we need that zero? (Jo Wright, Yvonne Marshall) A practical workshop with tips and tricks for children so they can "get" Place Value, in particular zero as a placeholder. |||| J.A.M (Bev King, Sarah Morgan, Mary Townshend) Junior Assessment of Mathematics (JAM) is replacing the diagnostic interview (NumPA). It is used with students in their first three years at school and allows you to assess in relation to levels one and two of the NZC and the mathematics standards for years 1 – 3. You will view video footage of students working with the teachers on some of the modules. As we view the footage we will do some group moderation. We will share with you a recording sheet and hints on how to best administer the test. [[image:matamatamaths/overflowing-glass.png width="136" height="135" align="center"]]

 * The Rectangular Model of Multiplication (Jay McKenzie) This workshop will give participants the opportunity to investigate the rectangular model of multiplicationto visualise multiplication for understanding and its use across number/algebra and measurement. The rectangular model of multiplication is for all students and teachers at any stage. We will use manipulatives such as grid paper, dotty arrays and multilink blocks in our investigation. |||| Understanding Fractions (Deb Currie) //‘Experts say that students are not given enough concrete real world or supportive instructional experiences in fractions.’//
