Last episode Pam and Kim discussed how not to teach multiplication facts. So how should we teach them? This episode we look at multiplication facts through the lens of mathematizing using Problem Strings!
Talking Points:
- The order that we teach math content matters to give students the best experience with multiplication throughout the year
- The sequence we teach the multiplication facts matters
- Example Problem Strings to build multiplicative relationships
- The key relationships students need to own in order to recall multiplication facts that they don't remember
- How parents can help their kids own their facts
See episodes 55-56 on helping parents understand your math classroom.
