The session, Math Continuum: Multiplication and Division - Session 1, was presented online on Thursday, Oct 24h. This online session was presented by Heather Wark (Lakehead University), Tien Ngo, and Denise Ladd(LKDSB Instructional Coaches).
The continua referenced are:
- Multiplication and Divison Continuum by Dr. Alex Lawson, Lakehead University
learning these facts by using an increasingly sophisticated series of strategies
rather than by jumping directly to memorization.
- (Lawson, 2016, p. 4)
Strategies help students find an answer even if they forget what was memorized. Discussing math fact strategies focuses attention on number sense, operations, patterns, properties, and other critical number concepts.
- (O’Connell & SanGiovanni, 2011, p. 5)
Strategies included:
- Unitizing
- Modelling composite units and counting by 1
- Counting Rhythmically
- Skip Counting
- Using Repeated Addition
