From Models to Meaning: Insights on Fraction Learning Through Patterns® Professional Learning

Friday November 6, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm EST

Winston 2

Teachers will engage in student-facing fraction tasks that deepen understanding of elementary fraction concepts using multiple representations, visual models, and collaborative problem solving. Drawing on outcomes from 70+ teacher participants in Carnegie Learning’s 30-hour Patterns course, this session highlights how rich fraction experiences strengthen reasoning about magnitude and equivalence.

4 Classroom Practices That Increase Student Proficiency

Friday November 6, 2026 12:10pm - 1:10pm EST

Winston 2

We will discuss four classroom practices that I have adopted that transformed my students into more motivated learners. As a result of these four easy adjustments to my classroom practice, I was able to increase student proficiency tremendously! We will go into detail what they are, why they work, and how they can be implemented into any classroom at any level.
