Being able to understand and use proportional thinking with confidence is important for success in many areas of mathematics, statistics and the wider curriculum. We all use proportional thinking every day in diverse ways. Being able to reason with and about proportions is essential for our ākonga to be numerate members of society. In this celebratory interactive presentation, we will explore a wide range of research-based success stories for helping ākonga latch onto and enjoy being able to think and reason with proportions. Our focus will span curriculum levels 1-4 across Number and Algebra, Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. He waka eke noa. Together we will explore engaging, purposeful and fun ways to help ākonga use equipment, representations, rich tasks, singing, explaining and practice to think proportionally and confidently use proportions. Me tīmata tātou.
