Help for facilitators.
Being a facilitator for this module can take a variety of forms depending on your comfort level. All options will require someone in the room to help guide the discussion and watch the clock to keep things moving when necessary, or make the decision to linger on specific areas of need.
Here are some options to consider:
- Display this site on a projector or large TV and simply work through the content as a group. We suggest that you use your browser's Zoom feature to increase the font size for group viewing.
- Have this site on a screen in front of the facilitator, but re-create the prompts either orally and/or on a whiteboard/chalkboard/chart paper as you go, and play only the videos on a screen or projector.
- Use this site as inspiration and recreate the entire session, including the content from the video content, as you see fit.
Digital handouts
All of the necessary accompanying printable/downloadable materials for this module are listed below. You can print the digital handouts and distribute at your session, or you can use a service like Google Drive to share the link and collaboratively edit the digital handout with your group.
All video content from the module
Just give me the videos!
If you're really just after the videos of Craig and Moses, and will work out the rest of the content yourself, below you'll find all the videos from this module combined without the rest of the text content.
Session 1: Making Sense of Addition and Subtraction
