From diagnosis to intervention, Chris talks about the importance of including:
- What is numeracy?
- How does the brain develop numeracy skills?
- Connecting numbers to word problems
- Why does math matter, and how do we help students see it
- How can we help?
Join us for an hour packed full of information about making math matter to everyone.
