Episode 3: Make Math Moments Through Multiplicative Thinking
In Episode 3, we continue with our focus on Number Sense. Our time together includes a problem-based approach to the following topics: operating with whole numbers, integers, decimals, and fractions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root, expressing whole numbers using place value and expanded form, working with exponents, and evaluating numeric expressions involving order …

Nix the Tricks! Rules that Break, and Rules that Expire in Grade 4-10 Mathematics
As students travel through the landscape of mathematics, certain rules tend to break on them. Certain rules expire as our need for more sophisticated number concepts and operations develops. That is why giving students “tricks” probably harms them in the long run. This webinar will explore how to build a strong conceptual foundation, so students’ …

Math Tasks to Support the Progression and Development of Multiplication and Division
In this webinar, participants will first review the research by Clements and Lawson to more fully understand the progressions of learning in multiplication and division. We will then explore specific tasks that will help support student development and understanding to move along this continuum to develop more efficient and effective strategies for these operations. Resources …

Coding Purposeful Practice Activities in Elementary Mathematics
This session introduces Scratch projects that will encourage students to practice math operations such as addition/subtraction, and multiplication/division. Rather than simply playing the games, students can become active coders by modifying and tweaking the code in the programs. They will be able to build upon the math concepts demonstrated in the original game and can …
