Math class is richer and more fun when the goal is more than answer-getting!
In this episode Pam and Kim discuss how to sequence tasks to develop the foundational strategies and relationships for single digit multiplication and division: doubling, making use of ten, and partial products/quotients.
Talking Points:
Three sample sequence of tasks that use:
- A product approach
- Student exploration of patterns
- Just in time vocabulary
- Differentiation
- Foundations of multiplicative reasoning, area, geometry
- Contexts to develop 3 major models
- Useful fact practice
- Anchoring the learning
