Place Value In Primary Math K-7

Place value in the primary grades begins to develop in Kindergarten. From subitizing to estimating, and from the operations to measurement, place value has a critical role to play. What tasks, questions and manipulatives support meaning-making? Literature connections, open-ended tasks and games will be shared in this session for teachers of Kindergarten through Grade 3. Come prepared to play! Teacher resources will be available for purchase at the session.

Primary (e.g. K-3)

Carole Fullerton

Carole is a teacher-leader working in K-12 classrooms to support the development of numeracy instruction across BC, Alberta, Manitoba, the territories and beyond. Carole has presented extensively both nationally and internationally throughout her 25 year career, was a featured speaker at the NCTM conference in New Orleans and a keynote speaker at the NorthWest Math Conference in Whistler, BC. Her graduate research on spatial thinking was featured at the Psychology of Mathematics Conferences in Prague, Czech Republic and also in Bergen, Norway. She has authored and co-authored more than fifteen teacher resources, all of which are grounded in a teaching-though-problem-solving approach, focused on mathematical thinking, on mastery of the facts, and on the operations.  She was a Faculty Associate at Simon Fraser University where she taught in a Numeracy Graduate Diploma Program, and enjoyed shepherding teachers on their pedagogical journey. But her biggest accomplishment is her son Cameron — a confident, capable and flexible mathematician in his own right.
