Seeing Dots: NCTM 2014 New Orleans Presentation

I am excited to be here in New Orleans at the 2014 NCTM conference. Yesterday was a great day of sessions for me, and I am delighted to be presenting a session in just a couple of hours! “Seeing Dots: Using Arrays to Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide” will focus on all the different ways the 100 dot array can be used to help students visualize and represent numbers — something which leads to a deeper understanding of numbers. I am posting the handout from the workshop as well as links to 100 dot arrays is the different sizes. I hope you try using the 100 dot array in your elementary classroom! Download the conference handout here. Download a 100 dot large array here. Download 4 arrays on a page here. Download 6 arrays on a page here. Download 12 arrays on a page here. Mathematically yours, Carollee
