Math Workshop Grades Four and Five

with Chris Bennett

How do we teach Math in such a way that the students discover the basic concepts for themselves out of the work they are doing? In this workshop we will look at ways to lead the 4th and 5th Grade students into discovering and understanding the underlying laws and principles of fractions and decimals, and also look at other aspects of the Waldorf Math curriculum for 4th and 5th grade.

Course Fee: $95

Group Rate (three or more): $75
