Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get Active in Math!

Session Description: This session will provide teachers with the opportunity to engage in hands on learning with some of the manipulatives we use in the classroom for mathematics. We will learn the basic foundations of “multiplication” and how that links all the way to high school.
