Manage episode 420662509 series 2858349
This week we're kicking off our series on fraction multiplication! In this episode Pam and Kim describe a classroom's experience discovering unit fraction multiplication.
Talking Points:
- We sometimes have to hear something multiple times for it to "click"
- What is 1/4 of 1/5?
- Suggestions for modeling fractions and why
- Layers of Reunitizing
- How memorized procedures can work against students
- Explicit teaching the use of a model is actually teaching a procedure
