Building a Place of Value Honor This workshop will begin with a focus on Stages 1-3 of the Grouping/Place Value domain of the Number Framework. We will then move to looking at the mathematical properties, key concepts and effective equipment for use in the teaching of Place Value. The goal is to develop a deep conceptual understanding for our students. To achieve this we need to facilitate productive mathematical thinking and discussion. ||= “Proportions Progression” Jay This workshop will take the attendees through a series of hands on activities that cover the whole spectrum of learners, starting with Junior Primary. Seeing may lead to believing but doing can lead to understanding. ||=  || __Cherie Johnson Firth__ Michael Richards Firth Kimberley White Firth Emma Neilson - MCS Mirella McKoy - Wairere Judi Buckley- Wairere Ron Van de Molen - Te Poi/St Jo's Sandra Clark - Te Poi Karo Preston- Walton Tina Madill - Walton Hannah Collins - MPS Sue Dawson - MIS Erin Brown - Hinuera Marie Whaley - Hinuera Candy Hollier - Hinuera Lisa Warrender - Hinuera Emma Smart - MPS Aimee Harland - MPS Julie Wilson - MPS Wendy Freeman - MPS Sue van de Molen - MPS Femke Johnson - MPS ||= __Edit and add your name here__ __ for Workshop 2: __ Karen Nicholls - MCS Kayla Uerata - MCS Steve Cordery - Hinuera Sarah - MPS Jemma Van Eijk- St Joseph's Holly Fawcett - MIS Shelley Pearson - MIS   Natalie Dyer- Wairere   Jeanette Malligan Firth   Daralyn Foy-firth   Cushla Thornton Brown Firth   Barbara Hodgetts Firth   Josephine - Kuranui   Kate Jackson - MIS ||=  || Shane Smith - MCS Alma Juma - MPS Emile Valkenborg - MPS James Eldridge Firth || __Edit and add your name here__ __ Workshop 4: __

Aimed at moving from Stage 5 to 6. || [[image:matamatamaths/Pizza.jpg width="87" height="87"]][[image:matamatamaths/Workshop_4.png]] Split Four Ways Bev, Mary, Kristina, Rob @ MPS Practical exploration helps build understanding of fractional numbers. We will share with you some of the ways we explore fractional understanding with students; building fractional language, equal shares or equal-sized portions of a whole, understand the symbols, understanding the place value and relationships to one. Good fractional understanding underpins good understanding of decimals and percentages. ||  ||
