Explore how technology can help students develop fundamental
concepts of multiplication, fractions, division and area
through the process of generating data and examining patterns
in this online workshop from the Math Forum @ Drexel.
Drawing on the benefits of software tools and the strength of
human pattern recognition, we will explore ways to address
misconceptions and related difficulties that students often
run into (e.g., multiplication makes bigger, division makes
smaller, comparing unlike terms, confusing area and perimeter).

- Regents reference sheet and information about the exam
- study tips
- teaching strategies
- teacher resources
- SED links and old exams
- SED glossary
- Regents practice tests and full-length exams
- links to interactive games and puzzles
