Description

What does it look like when students confidently and efficiently reason through fraction multiplication problems? In this episode Pam and Kim discuss more sophisticated and efficient strategies for solving fraction multiplication problems.
Talking Points:

• How to model the commutative property in fraction multiplication.
• How to reasoning through "slash and burn".
• In a classroom, we would expect for students to have a variety of strategies to solve a rich problem.
• It's not about multiple representations but about connections between multiple representations so that kids have a series of connections in their head.
