Carole Fullerton Shares Numeracy Strategies For Multi-Grade Classrooms

Carole Fullerton and Helping Teacher Alison Bos returned to Horse Lake Elementary and focused their efforts on strategies that could be used in multi-grade classroom situations. We combined students from our grade 1 / 2 class and grade 3 / 4 class and Carole and the teachers worked with manipulatives to progress from simple addition, to subtraction, and then to multiplication for the assembled group. The progression allowed students to participate with their peers and blurred the lines between grade expectations within the group.
