*Math-u-See Training Today at OTA. Math-u-See is a powerful tool that teachers will be incorporating into TAPS Projects (Think Aloud Problem Solving) and classrooms next year.

Division problems are Area problems! Given an Area (Dividend) of 16 with a side (Divisor) of 2, find the other side’s dimensions (Quotient). Answer = 8…. W x L = 2 x 8 = 16
Students use ingenious manipulatives to study math concepts and operations as they Build It, Write It, Say It! Students (and Adults^) gain real understanding and see hidden patterns and connections as they study Place Value, Arithmetic Operations at four levels (Counting, Adding, Multplying, Exponents), Fractions, Percents, Algebra and more.
^OTA Parents, Look for “Hour of Math-u-See” Training session which will be offered in August (along with “Hour of Code” Training • “Hour of Piano” • “Hour of ST Math” and many other Parent and Parent-Volunteer Training Courses designed to help you participate in your child’s OTA Lab & Project work at home or by volunteering.
