What if finding equivalence between fractions, decimals, and precents wasn't just a task for students to do, but a tool making them more efficient in rational number computations? In this episode Pam and Kim talk about code switching with rational numbers to make complex problems more figure-out-able.

Talking Points:

What is code switching in rational numbers?
A Problem String using equivalence to think about multiplication
Tasks that use equivalency to solve problems rather than just practicing conversions
