Algebra: Making the Manipulative Connection Workshop
Confidence will soar as teachers discover the power of Algeblocks
to introduce and explore algebraic concepts! Participants
will benefit from this half-day workshop
designed to provide
effective teaching strategies for using manipulatives to
encourage students with hands-on, visual investigations.
Each participant receives an Algeblocks
Teacher's Resource Binder for Middle School or Algeblocks
Teacher's Resource Binder for High School and an Algeblocks
Study Group Set for immediate classroom application.
Workshops are available for either middle school or high
school grade levels.
As part of each workshop, teachers will:
- Explore the Algeblocks to better understand the relationships between and among the blocks.
- Discover the natural connections between algebra and geometry.
- Use the model to explore
integer relationships; name polynomial
expressions; build polynomial expansions; explore the concepts of area,
perimeter, and volume; and solve equations.
- Evaluate algebraic expressions in a meaningful way.
- Leave with an Algeblocks Study
Group Set and a Teacher’s Resource Binder
filled with ready-to-use, grade-appropriate activities!
