In this short course we present an Introduction to the CRSA model of instruction for mathematics. Teaching maths using the model can help build student understanding and minimise the development of misconceptions. It will help you differentiate learning experience in a manageable way. The course uses primary student examples to demonstrate how you can implement the CRSA model in your classroom. If you have not been using the CRSA model we highly recommend you enrol in this course and see how you can start using it with your students tomorrow. Enjoy!
