Square counters are an excellent hands-on classroom resource that can be used as a tool to empower and enable students to creatively investigate many areas of Mathematics and solve problems. In this workshop we will look at tasks in all six strands and investigate how manipulations with 24 square counters can provide rich learning opportunities for students to reason, justify, connect ideas and draw conclusions to ultimately develop understanding. Within each exploration we will consider strategies to promote rich dialogue and how each task can be differentiated to enhance the learning.
