Join us tonight for Week 4 as we explore the critical connection between multiplication and division.

Cathy Fosnot and Stephen Hurley guide our thinking through chapter 4 of Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Multiplication and Division,  and the importance of providing students with opportunities to mathematize related multiplication and division situations. 

Tonight on VoicEd Internet Radio and on Twitter at #nledmath, 7:30 PM NT (7 AT, 6 ET)

https://www.tes.com/lessons/gwCZC39wEmAVBA/multiplication-strategies Join us  for Chapter 6   "Algorithms Versus Number Sense"  Cathy Fosnot and Stephen Hurley guide our thinking through Chapter 6 of  Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Multiplication and Division ,  as they explore how children mathematize, think like mathematicians and make sense of number, rather than apply algorithms before they have the deep understanding of number to do so.

There's a place for your voice... join our follow-up Twitter Chat! 8:30 PM NT, (8 PM AT, 7 PM ET) Here are the questions from Chapter 5 we’ll reflect on tonight: Q1) When you think about multiplication and division which models would be most powerful long term? Q2) How are models connected to development? Q3) How do we support children to construct models then generalize their thinking? Q4) ”The issue here is not whether facts should eventually be memorized, but how this memorization is achieved; by rote drill and practice, or by focusing on relationships?” (p.86) What practices support students to develop automaticity? Q5) “Models cannot be transmitted any more than strategies or big ideas can be; learners must construct them.” (p 80). How does this shift our practice? Q6) What contexts for mathematizing division are you finding useful?
