Bridging the Gap: Understanding Multiplication with Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimals
A Session by Brittany Hege (Mix and Math)
About this Session
Crafting lesson plans about multiplying fractions or decimals is much less daunting when we recognize the knowledge students bring with them, preparing them for success with this concept. In this session, we'll explore the progression of teaching multiplication from 3rd to 5th grade, including work with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. We'll look at the representations that are most relevant to students and discuss overlooked opportunities when teaching multiplication. You'll walk away from this session with the understanding and strategies to help students make many more connections as they grow their understanding of multiplication.
A quick note, THIS SESSION IS PRE-RECORDED.
