Math Continua Online Sessions with Heather Wark (Lakehead University)


These online sessions will feature Heather Wark (Lakehead University) and LKDSB Instructional Coaches digging into Dr. Lawson's developmental math continua.


The continua referenced are:
- Addition and Subtraction Continuum by Dr. Alex Lawson, Lakehead University
- Multiplication and Divison Continuum by Dr. Alex Lawson, Lakehead University

Children should learn their number facts. However, they would benefit from
learning these facts by using an increasingly sophisticated series of strategies
rather than by jumping directly to memorization.
- (Lawson, 2016, p. 4)

Strategies help students find an answer even if they forget what was memorized. Discussing math fact strategies focuses attention on number sense, operations, patterns, properties, and other critical number concepts.
- (O’Connell & SanGiovanni, 2011, p. 5)
