Title: Session on Bar Modelling
Presenters: Gary Setchell
Date: Saturday 7 October 2017
Time: 09:30 for 10:00 start - finishing by 12:15
Summary: Gary is an SLE at Bournville Junior School TSA. He first stumbled across what Sybilla Beckmann (2004) described as ‘strip diagrams’ whilst completing his M.Ed. a few years ago. This practical session covers how bar modelling can be a powerful tool for revealing the structure of problems. Having been convinced at school - by himself and others - he didn’t have a ‘maths brain’, he has now found himself hell-bent on a mission to get schools bar modelling.
Venue: Venue: University of Leicester in the Fraser Noble Hall
