Early Fractions Webinar
hi everyone welcome to the early fractions webinar we're going to work through some great activities with
mythology I'd like you to start by just typing your name in the chat pod and just kind of let us know where you're
from and as you're doing that I'll just kind of go through a little bit of housekeeping as we get started so we've
put you in a listen-only mode just for a better quality sound but you can type any of your questions in the chat box at
any time during the session and you'll find the chat box in the top left hand corner it says chat there if you don't
see it you can just hover around and it will you'll be able to open up that box
for yourself questions will be answered mostly at the end we have some what we
have Miranda monitoring the chat as we go and any
questions we don't get to throughout the webinar one of our representatives will reach out to you after the webinar and
you will receive a recording of this webinar so thanks for spending spending some time we know it's a little bit
later in the day and many of you have had a long day already so thank you for sharing your time with us i'm kim master
Martino and I am the planning and implementation manager here at Pearson I've been working here for about a year
supporting mass resources and math implementation across Canada
I've spent probably about 25 years in education most recently with the
Ministry of Education here in Ontario and previous to that out of a school board and we also have Miranda on the
chat she is a seconded math consultant out of Toronto Catholic tonight and we
have patty on the line also marketing manager for math so she'll be able to
answer your questions and she'll come on at the end to give you some more information so we are hoping that this
is an interactive webinar we're going to be asking you to participate by chiming
in some ideas into the chat pod as we go so get your fingers right and let's start with this picture so as
What strategies for equal partitioning do you see?
you're looking at the pictures think about what strategies for partitioning
or what we call equal partitioning do you see how would you name them and what
would you see so if you have some idea of how what you call it what they're
doing if you could type that word into the chat pod now that would be great
and so if you're still thinking I'm wondering if you saw folding so if you
saw folding put a yes or a thumbs-up I'm not sure if we can actually use emojis
on this one at least a yes can go in the chat pod if you saw folding if you saw
measuring put a yes in the chat pod if
you saw counting hopefully we're seeing lots of yeses Miranda if you saw cutting
if you saw visualizing or even fair share dividing so this picture comes
from one of the little books that's in the mythology collection so what will be D we'll be doing is over the course of
the webinar using different images from the little books and from the activity
cards and thinking more about early
Learning Progressions
fractions a long learning progression so this learning progression is a step by
step look at stages of knowledge --is and skills that the learner goes through as they develop competence in
mathematics and it's organized by big ideas there's 13 big ideas some number
and then along the other strands they have conceptual threads and within each
conceptual thread there's an indicator and so we're going to be looking at this
big idea one of the 13 big ideas about quantities and numbers can be grouped by
and/or partitioned into equal units and so underneath that big idea are three
conceptual threads that have been put together because of their similarities
along the continuum of learning mathematics and so we're gonna take a look at this bottom portion about
partitioning quantities to form fractions and so on the left-hand side we see where kindergarten students would
start thinking about this mathematical concept all the way to the right hand side where grade threes start thinking
about this mathematical concept so if you're a user of Mythology already
this webinar hopes to help you think about how to put together some of the
resources and think about pieces you would like to use if you're just learning about mythology this webinar
will give you some ideas about that fractions pathway and you'll get access
to all these resources through a link at the end of the webinar and so let's
Do you ever see students do this?
start with this picture do you ever see students do this do you ever see them
when they're really young in the kindergarten class and they're trying to do something that's sharing and and they
take a look at it and they're like well I'm not quite so sure that this is quite
right you know it it seems like a piece of it but is it really fair whereas
younger children this little one doesn't even care how big it is she would just
like some more of it and so which piece would you want
she's taking a look at her friend or her brother and thinking hmmm maybe this
isn't quite right maybe this isn't quite fair yet and so this is where early
learners in kindergarten start they visually compare fraction sizes and they name those fractional parts informally
they might say halves or a piece or eyepieces bigger than you but it's it's
an informal labeling and so let's take a minute and think about how might your
How might your students equally share with friends?
students equally share with friends so take a look at the picture here that
comes out of the grade two activity kit and in the chat pod right just pop in
some of your ideas about how might your students equally share these items
so if they're sharing with a friend you know might they take a look and think
about one for you one for me one for you one for me and fair share that way you
know might they take one at a time and give each other or might they you know circle off a couple of them and say two
for you two for me until they finish and so they really think about solving equal
share by working things out with the manipulatives to really find out about
this so they're they're thinking about partitioning the holes into equal sized
parts to make fair shares so the holes here is all the pencils thinking about
equal sized parts to make it fair that each child gets the same amount of
pencils and within this activity on the other side of the card and so this is an
actual card that students look at on the other side of the card there's another
opportunity for sharing with friends although this is opportunity to differentiate so it might be smaller
numbers or easier things to think about how they might fair share it and so
How might these materials help to explore equal parts?
let's take a look at another photo here and have some opportunity to chat in
some of your ideas and see what some of your colleagues are thinking about and let's just take about a minute here to
think about and to share with each other some ideas about how might these
materials help to explore equal parts
you
and so in thinking about this it might give students opportunities to think
about equal parts in different ways they might be able to think about some
fractional names that the students might know they might think about half they
might think about thirds they might think about force they might take a
piece of paper and be able to fold it in half and half again and they might start
naming them as one fourths and so it
gives them an opportunity to think about different types of materials and different ways to think about putting
them into quantities that are actually less than one and so this comes from an
activity from a grade one kit that starts with students using the materials
in a very concrete way to start thinking about those fractional parts before they have to go to a pictorial or to a
abstract representation and so this is moving along that continuum of learning
moving into partitioning the holes through standard intervals and into
equal parts and they start naming the unit fractions and so when we take a
look at an activity like this the activity kits have the actual cards and
in a little bit I'm going to show you mythology CA and what that looks like as
the cards but just take a look and see in terms of the front and the back of
the card on the front of the card is the actual lesson and the back of the card has the assessment piece embedded where
a student might start in the top left-hand corner and move through some
of these stages to the bottom right hand corner so just take a minute and take a
look at the lesson part you might not be able to actually see the the parts but
in terms of the key Cheers is there something you see there that would be helpful for your teaching
so in the card there's some great features every lesson is organized like
a three part lesson but it's really the importance of getting students ready for thinking about the mathematics for
interacting with the mathematics and each other opportunities to differentiate within the actual activity
and then having that idea of consolidation right in front before I actually have the activity doing it with
my students I can kind of see what are some things I should be highlighting and what types of things at the end of the
lesson do I really need to consolidate with the students to move them forward along that continuum of learning in this
case for fractions it also helps me to think about what to look for you know so
are the students able to fold or cut the items to make halves thirds and fourths do the students notice that the
different size holes result in different size halves thirds fourths so it really gives me ideas of things that I should
be looking for as they're working through the activities it also gives me probing questions along the bottom for
every activity that are really precise again to moving students along that
learning continuum on the right-hand side you see the assessment which
actually is the back of the card when it's a physical card and that would help
me as a teacher understand not only where my students are at but also what
my next steps with that student would possibly be it gives me you know a way in to think
about the next best step for that actual student so the assessment is embedded
within the learning and the teaching and the teaching and the lesson planning is
great because everything on the top of that card has the materials has the big ideas it has the focus it has the
processes and competencies that I need to have at my hands when I'm actually
doing the planning so let's take a minute and think about how does paper
How does paper folding help students compare?
folding help students compare
so we're moving along that continuum of helping students to relate the size of
the parts to the number of equal parts in a whole so for example a whole can be
cut into two equal parts it has larger parts than a cut then a hole cut into
three parts so it's interesting that the same piece of paper we can call sections
halves or if we look at it a different way that same hole we can call it
quarters or we can cut quarters or we can call it fourths or we can call it
eighths or we can call it six so it's that idea that a hole can be named in a
variety of ways so let's take a look at this student on the left-hand side so
the student has used some relational rods and taken the green rod to think
about what are the different types of fraction parts I can make with this
green rod so take a look at it take a look at the rods and take a look at the
actual representation of that rod and think about what does this child already
know about fractions and so if you can see I know it may be small the the
assessments this is from a grade two activity as we're moving along which box might you place that student in what is
it that they actually know and we'll just take 30 seconds to think about that
or if you want to just pop in your answer what box you think it is and why
into the chat pod that would be great and we'll take 30 seconds to do that
so if we take a look at what the student did on the left we look that he's done
the whole as the green rod and he's done two smaller green rods to make halves
he's used the red to make thirds and he used the white to make six so he's got two four he's got six White's on the
bottom but when he went to the pictorial representation he's got the hole that hops he's got thirds even though it
looks like he's put it into force the actual pencil mark shows thirds and then
when he went into six he's got one two one one six two one six three one six
four one six five one six he's missing one of those one six so we can take a
look in a minute about how some some ways to work with the next step but here the student might be in a round box for
in that the student partitions holes into equals and names the unit but does
not realize that partitioning a hole into more equal parts produces smaller
parts that's kind of where the student is at and so the next step suggests have
the student compare one part of each color so in other words the student
might compare the white ones that they've done to the white ones in the pictorial representation are they the
same different and why and so it gives a way in to have some great mathematical
conversations so I'm just gonna go back one thing I'm gonna go back back back so
What does this student know? What does this reveal about student thinking?
here's an opportunity for students to compare unit fractions to determine
relative size and also to count by unit fractions so counting by force
one 1/4 two and four three one force and so on and using fraction symbols in some
provinces to start naming those fractional amounts and so this helps the
student move from to concrete representation into the pictorial representation and then
eventually into that symbolic representation of fractions and so let's
take a few minutes now to take a look at what does this look like in mythology
dossier so in mythology CA it is an
online tool for teachers that contain all these rich activities that we've
just been talking about that follow the learning progression it's an opportunity
to search for activities plan for activities teach assess and track and also there's professional learning
embedded right in the lessons at the point of planning and so I am going to
let's just see if I can minimize what I've got here and come in to Mythology
CA and so here is the front page for
mythology CA so when you have a username this is the landing page that you would
land on and I can do search by three ways I can search by the learning
progression that we've been watching I can search by curriculum or I can just type in anything here and come up with a
lot of activity so right now my my screen is showing both grade one and two
so what we're going to do is let's search by curriculum to start and I'm going to start with grade one and we're
gonna go into the curricula expectations' and I'm showing you the Ontario expectations but if you have
this your provinces expectations will pop up and so here's fractional money amounts
and what we were working on was dividing holes and objects into parts and
identifying describes our investigation equal sized parts of the whole using
fractional names so this is from grade one so I've got a couple of activities that
are listed here and just to make sure I can search make sure it's grade 1 I'm
searching all the different activities and the little books and I'm searching
all the strands so here's a couple of activities for grade 1 that come up for
early fracture numbers and you can see that this photo is the activity that we
looked at in terms of composing and decomposing different parts so the card
looks the same and we'll come back to that in a minute but online there's also
information about the lesson about the curriculum expectations that are covered
the processes and competencies and here's that learning progression that we showed you the page at the beginning
it's just the part that they're actually looking that they're actually working on
on the left hand side is what kind of comes before and on the right hand side is what comes after and depending on the
learning progression sometimes it Scrolls backwards and sometimes it's curls forward depending on what are the
indicators along that learning progression so let's take a look at that
lesson so what you saw was the actual visual that's here and here is the
overview of the lesson just like the card you saw it has a before it has a
what to do that the students are often working in pairs and very active working
through activities and through problem solving has opportunities to differentiate right within the lesson
and again consolidation it's right there for me as a teacher to think about what
is it that's going to be most important for these students and there's my probing questions right there so any
resources that I need are on on here and there's also opportunities to take a
look at some online tools that you can be working with your students and for the grade too one we're gonna take a
look at that one also so when they move to Grade two and started looking further
along that continuum I'm just gonna put
fractions here again I'm going to take grade two I'm going to take a look at
all the activities and we've got numbers strand so here's just a way of sorting
and filtering through to make sure I've got kind of what I need for my grade and here is obviously a lot more activities
for grade two as they're moving into further complexity with early fractions
and so here's the early fractional activity that we looked at in terms of
that student work and the fractional rods and where that student was along an
assessment continuum so let's take a look at the details it's got all the
things I need for the lesson again it's got that structure of a before and
during where the students are working through activities and and problem
solving as they go to work through some of these ideas it has what to look for
from me as a teacher to know that the important things that I'm looking for and again the probing questions so that
this information is on the cards in the kit also in addition to the actual
lesson the assessment part is actually embedded right in this tool so as I'm
walking around and working with students I might notice that certain students are
doing certain things and I can track and record that right here so if I've got an
iPad I can just do it as I go or I might be intentionally looking at a few students and thinking about what did I
see today in their work and so this what you're seeing on the screen is exactly
like the back of the card that we saw earlier so I might have seen Darius that
might have been Darrius that we looked at and so I am
just gonna drag and drop him down here and he didn't quite go so I'm just gonna
take Darius and move them down and it just will pop them in there and so it it
keeps track of kind of where they're at and so if I want to make a little note it timestamps ed automatically for me
but I might want to add some more information and so I might see that I've been kind of working on these kind of
fractions for a while and I see I've got quite a group in this group and so I can just click here and think about what is
it that I need to move them to the next step in terms of moving them forward or
I've got it you know one student here that isn't quite as far along or a few
students here so some of them actually have very specific next steps that can
go to and this one is suggesting to take
a look at a book the grade two little
book the best birthday and so that might be something I might consider for that
group because it's kind of like next step so it might be worth it re either revisiting this book or working together
as a group with that book so we've had opportunities to search to think about
what's all involved in the lesson and finally there's opportunities for
related activities with the book or related activities with the actual
activity so we've had opportunities to take a look at the lesson and to take a
look at how we're searching and how were looking at different activities so if I
wanted to think about I'm gonna go back to my home and back to this activity
that we've had early fractional thinking so if I wanted to work with my students maybe with one of
the tools that's helpful for them I can just go to details and find the
interactive that's helpful with this activity and so for this one is the
relational rods and so it might be helpful with a small group or as
consolidation to take up some of the responses that the students did and we
can see that for this student this is what he chose to do and he would have
had the these rods to show and six of he
would have had six of those but the picture that he did didn't show that so it would be a really good way to start a
conversation about comparing contrasting the concrete to the visual so lots of
different ways to use these relational rods but it's embedded right with the
activity so as I'm planning I might think well I might want to learn a little bit more about relational rods
and what to look for each lesson has what's called a learning highlight video which is just a one minute video that
helps me think about what might I see in the student thinking so right now I'm just going to show you one of them
they're like a minute or less take a look at this one encourage students to explore the
different colored rods and the relationships among them do they realize that the first encouraged students to
explore the different colored rods and their relationships among them do they
realize that the first rod they pick represents the whole in this case the
orange rod do they see that some rods can be covered in many different ways
while others in only one way help students see that the length of the part
for the same unit fraction depends on the length of the whole for instance
one-fourth of the pink rod is a rod but one-fourth of the Brown rod is a
red rod how did the two 1/4 rods compare
to consolidate talk about how the same rod can represent different unit
fractions depending on the hole for example the red rod represents one half
of the pink rod but one third of the dark green rod at the same time the red
rod can represent the hole for those students who would benefit from support
on naming fractional amounts refer to intervention activity 8 so each lesson
has one of those videos to take a look at what might be some of the student
thinking as they're working through this activity and the other thing that's included for the professional learning
is the learning connections videos and so these videos are based on the big
ideas from the learning progression and so there is 13 different Big Idea videos that are embedded throughout that each
activity and book is associated with so let's just take just a little section of
this and it follows the learning progression again and we'll just take a look at the section that deals with the
fractions [Music]
how many dinosaurs are there how might you group them to count in this video
we'll explore the learning pathway for the big idea quantities and numbers can be grouped by or partitioned into equal
sized units outlined in Pearson's learning progression several mythology resources such as this grade 2 activity
support students in unit izing comparing and partitioning quantities to form
fractions one important concept that students investigate is unit izing
quantities in the ones tens and hundreds form fractions students use strategies
to partition a whole into equal sized parts and name the parts to share in this grade two little book students use
a variety of strategies such as folding or measuring using non-standard units
such as toothpicks to visually compare fraction sizes and then name the fractional amounts as students become
familiar with partitioning different sets they learn to count by unit fractions in this grade three-d little
book students might look at this section of seats as a whole and the rows as the parts what fractional part of the whole
does each row represent in this picture each blue and yellow row represents an
equal section or part so each row is 1/5 of the whole students might count the
rows as one 1/5 to one fifths three one fifths for one fifths v one v in this
video we've explored several indicators in this big idea and a few of the available resources in mythology these
resources can support students in developing a foundation for multiplication division fractions
decimals and ratios to inform instruction for your grade refer to your
provincial curriculum so how might your students determine how
many so these are a little bit longer
videos that really give a really good idea about that the idea and the
learning progression along it so it visually shows what we're doing in this
webinar are the stages along that continuum that students work through so
we've got lots of activities in here we've got great assessment that is at
the point of instruction learning highlight videos help me as an educator
be a little bit more precise in what I'm looking for and supporting my students and your thinking okay there's all this
here how do I go about using it and so it's as simple as going up to the plan to tool there's opportunity to have
there's embedded shared plans already in
here there is sample plans for grade one and sample plans for grade two and these
sample plans actually last the whole year so it's as simple as taking one of
them they just go a different order in terms of the concepts but if I want to
use that plan I just simply call it my plan Kim I'm gonna save it so there's my
plan and it's as easy as if I don't want to start with repeating patterns in
September I'm just going to move it down or if if I'm creating patterns again I
might want to just move that down or move that up in two different places I
have all the activities that are here basically a week's worth shows up when -
two weeks shows up for each section so it's already there I can take things out
that I don't want I can add things that I do there's also great opportunities to
favorite certain activities and load them in as you go I might want to add an
activity and it's as simple as dragging them over and Minn I can add comments I can add any
mythology lesson or non lesson that has a URL so if I've got lessons in Google
Docs I can just load them up or I've got websites and games I want to use I can just load them up and put them there so
it's a very simple planning tool to get started or to make it whatever you want
and so when we look at this idea of
early fractions we've I'm just gonna pull back to this
slide here we've had an opportunity to
look at how does someone search for ideas if I'm working on fractions I've
got the learning progression it's built into the actual activities I just take a
look at my grade one and think about what is it that I want to do and I'm moving along that continuum it has
opportunities to think about different resources online teaching tools my
assessment is embedded it helps me along the way and there's professional learning tools right there at the point
of the lesson so I'm just gonna stop for one minute and if you have any specific
questions about the learning progression and following fractions along or
anything that you just saw in mythology dossier you could just type it into the
chat and we'll see what we do with that we just sort of just take a minute to
stop for that
you
and so we've taken a look at the beginning you saw when we took a look at
the search function that you can search by just a keyword you can search by the
learning progression or you can search by curriculum so we know in Ontario and possibly other provinces new curriculums
are coming out and so this can be very easily correlated to any new curriculum
because it's built on a learning progression the math is the map it just might look different from grade to grade
of where it's correlated to so within a very short amount of time they're all tagged and correlated to the to any new
curriculum so we're gonna take a minute
to take a look at everything that you just saw and at the beginning we saw the
map activity kits that come in a physical box for grade 1 & 2 and within
that kit there's a hundred and one math lessons those lessons are also embedded in mythology CA as you saw us go through
the same activities there there's 34 kaito for grade one there's 34 k2 one
mythology little books that are everything is in French and English in
the activity kits and the books and they're all based on a k23
Mathology.ca includes the following
learning progression and within the grade one mythology dossier there's all
the additional supports and assessment tools and planning tools as well as a
hundred just over a hundred professional learning videos that go with that
so grade 2 again it has boxes of activities in a physical form as well as
little books so for grade - there's 185 activity math lessons there's 30 eighth
grade one to map little books there's the k23 learning progression and within the grade two there's 160 just
over 160 professional learning videos and grade three is coming in the fall of
2020 so now that you've seen all the pieces if you have any questions again
just type them into your chat pod as we go through the final parts of the
webinar so we've seen about how students
What types of fraction models do you see? How might you partition them?
start from kind of looking at pieces of cake and trying to fair share it and
realizing hmm something isn't quite right but I'm not quite sure what to do about it so when they get to Grade three
they're starting to see a variety of different types of fraction models and so when you look at this picture just
take a minute to think about what types of fraction models do you see here and how might your your students partition
them
did you see an area model where the ring
can be divided into halves or other portions did you see a set model with
with the players or the pucks or did you
see a linear model where it can be set
off like a number line and section off a piece of the rink and so this comes to
the right-hand side of the learning progression as we are approaching grade three and four where students are
starting to partition a number line from zero to one in two equal parts and they start naming those parts using fractions
Learning Progression for Partitioning Quantities to Form Fractions
and so here's the learning progression that we looked at over the last 45 minutes starting on the left hand side
with kindergarten and moving to the right with grade 3 and here are the
resources that we looked at to support students moving from visually comparing
to that idea of actually starting to use in an abstract way number lines and look at numbers from between 0 & 1
and so in mythology this is the
Mathology Mathologie Portfolio K-8
resources that make up what we call the mythology family so on the bottom line
we see a variety of things and this is the support for the resources that are
placed into classrooms on the left hand side we have a math success for all it's
a research overview you can google that mathematics success for all Pearson it's available to anyone we've taken a look
at one little section of the learning progression that students move through as they're thinking and working through
those fractional amounts we have underlined that Pearson professional
Learning of resources like taking shape what to look for Vanda wall Cathy marks car pans books on
teaching math with meaning and the new book they what to look for facilitators guide that actually supports the work of
what to look for and supports administrators and math leaders in easy ways it has
powerpoints it has videos embedded to really support that facilitation and we
have implementation supports that's partly my job to support through
workshops and webinars like this the not only the the use of resources but
supporting educators in moving along their math journey and so coming August
Mathology Grade 3: Coming August 2020 Classroom-tested to
2020 marry soon we've got the grade three resources ready to go out and of
course these all these resources have been classroom tested and they've been
classroom tested to encourage student engagement you can just go into Twitter and find some of these activities
hashtag mythology and you'll see some teachers who tested it it addresses the
diversity and math understanding with classroom it was classroom tested to really remove those time constraints and
making plan and effective and curriculum focused it was classroom tested to address it
all the curriculum expectations even if those expectations are going to change or shipped with a new curriculum and
it's really a classroom tested to to develop that growth mindset in
mathematics and so for grade three the lessons and activities for the teacher
the lesson cards are in mythology a there's going to be an activity kit with student facing activity cards of course
there's the math little books that come with it that are fiction nonfiction and
there's always a couple that are indigenous perspectives in each grade and then there's the math maps which are
wipeable in other words with whiteboard markers they're reusable and being able to use
in a variety of ways with students and partners and again the hashtag mythology you'll see some kids using these and so
Flexible Grade 3 Components
the grade three components are really flexible the mythology dossier it really streamlines the searching planning
assessment and professional learning all in one place there's 18 fiction and nonfiction books that come with teachers
guides the activity kids have really engaging games and activities really to
support that student understanding in math and then the math mats are really to encourage that growth mindset and
risk-taking because they're wipe-on and awful and so you're welcome to register
Register now for a 2-week Free Preview
for a two week free trial and when you go to Pearson
pathology ww Pearson mythology CA you
can register and you get access to all the books and cards that you saw today and you can just go and do that lesson
tomorrow if you want or take a look at it for one more night do it the next day and many more tools at your fingertips
and so right now in mythology CA for the free trial you'll get grade 1 & 2
and grade 3 is coming fall 2020 so we really appreciate your feedback I'm not
quite sure if if Miranda has the link or if you can type the link Miranda into
the chat pod your feedback really supports us not only in making better
webinars but making better products for your students so the survey I think it's
three quick questions if you could just click on that now and go there it'll
take you probably less than a minute and 10 seconds
and so I'm just going to stop for 30 seconds and then we're going to come
back with some more information
first of all I'd like to thank you for taking time and we will wrap up in a minute but I think Patti hopefully I
don't have to do anything patty to bring you on you should be able to come in hey everyone its Patti Anderson I'm the math
marketing manager at Pearson and I just wanted to share with you some of our by
now and save spring savings that are available for mythology until July 15th
we usually get this question near the end of this webinar about how much things cost that's always a good
question to get and so we've put together some really great bundles use
you've seen from Jim's presentation that we have activity kits we have mythology doxy a and we have math little books and
so typically with any type of bundling you can put resources together and get a
better price and so we've done that for you this spring so for instance we have pathology dot CA which you just walked
through five-year access plus an activity kit for under a thousand
dollars we're trying to keep these well within most schools budgets you have the
opportunity as well to when you put the activity kit the pathology dossier together to get 25% off the print
component so the math for instance the math little books or the math mat if you're just interested in one year
access to pathology CA in an activity kit that gets you 15% off the print
components and last but not least I think and you know that we are also the publisher of math makes sense and so
this spring we're looking at any schools that purchase pathology any of the components for $2,000 that opens up some
really great savings on math makes sense grades four through eight and it's the
student text and those pro guides and this is particularly for those schools that are looking to top up with math
make sense this spring for grades four to eight you receive 50% off so there's
a variety really great offers here and what kim will do at the end she'll put
up that looks at your local Pearson representative and if you're interested
in any of these by now and saves these folks we'll be able to help you with
more information on these spring savings so thanks so much for being with us
tonight you really appreciate it thanks Kim and so along with the
Ensuring Success: Implementation Support
products there's also services support that is
somewhat my job but of course here at Pearson there's so much intertwining and
everybody helps everybody but we have what's called a tiered service that there are self service so if you go to
Mythology Pearson mythology you will find some standard self service
resources like there's you know about five little videos about the little books about the kits about mythology CA
and a variety of resources there on that website you can also find all the
curriculum correlations and sample plans and so that's just available for anyone
at any time and then we have shared services where I work with boards and
schools along with sometimes Pearson consultant from various locations across
Canada to support either face-to-face
implementation or webinar implementation or even just conversations with
administrators we've done lots of leadership webinars and things like that too so it's just working with the
administrators and with the districts to find out what best suits your needs and
how can we best support that implementation as you get going with new resources and to also support that math
learning so it's really more about math learning using the bases of Mythology resources to support that learning
across the teachers that are starting with it and then we have our full and
custom services that are a lot of our authors give workshops or we give
specialty workshops depending on what the need of the board is and that's tailored right to the board and the
objectives of each or neech customer and so as we end here's the
list of wherever you are in Canada that you can contact this person to find out
more about mythology and what might be best for fits your context and just on
behalf of Pattie marketing manager and Miranda who's been working that chat pod
today for us and myself can master Martino for taking time out of your day
that is taking time away from other things that you might be doing to look
at some ideas and think about some math learning pathways that might support
your students so again you can go to math College Pearson mythology Canada
and you can get your free trial for two weeks and have all the activities that we did today so I'm going to stay on the
line for just a little bit longer if you have any particular questions we'll be
here for five or ten minutes and you can just put them in the chat pod now and if not again thank you very much for being
with us today
