"Back to Square One" 101 Ways to Use The Learning Carpet
This two and one half hour workshop is a fast-paced, interactive programme that will introduce innumerable and creative ways to use The Learning Carpet, a 100 square floor grid that is 6 feet square. Teachers will actively experience concepts in all five strands of mathematics:numeration, patterning, measurement, geometry, data management and probability. Practical strategies for map and globe skills and basic phonemic awareness, will also be shared using the grid.
The Learning Carpet, is a teaching tool that is used to kinaesthetically teach primary/junior children math and language concepts. In the workshop the teachers will sit on chairs around the carpet in a horseshoe fashion.
In the spring of 2003, The Ontario Ministry of Education, for The Early Math Investment Programme, approved the hundred square carpet for all grades K-3. They have recommended that there be a hundred square carpet in every classroom K-3. The Learning Carpet-TLC was the only carpet approved for all grades K-3. The Learning Carpet is now a recognized, integral component of effective primary and junior math and language programmes in Ontario and throughout the rest of Canada.
