Doctoral candidate presents at NJAMTE
Posted in: Mathematics Education PhD, Presentations
During the NJAMTE Annual Conference, doctoral candidate Elise Lahiere, Dr. Eileen Fernandez, and Dr. Eliza Leszczynski invited participants to represent fraction factors and a product of their choice in a tactile manner by folding, cutting, and overlaying colored, cellophane sheets. By demonstrating the traditional area representation of fraction multiplication and a more innovative pinwheel illustration, they introduced participants to new possibilities, expanding the conversation beyond conventional models and highlighting artistic dimensions of mathematics. It was a really fun presentation, congrats to all!
