Math Continuum: Multiplication and Division - Session 3

The session, Math Continuum: Multiplication and Division - Session 3, was presented online on Thursday, November 14th.  This online session was presented by Heather Wark (Lakehead University), Denise Ladd, and Tien Ngo (LKDSB Instructional Coaches).  

The continua referenced are:

- Multiplication and Division Continuum by Dr. Alex Lawson, Lakehead University

Children should learn their number facts. However, they would benefit from 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 Include:
- Array Model
- Decomposing a Factor
- Starting from a known fact
- Distributive Property

Join us for the next sessions that will dig into the strategies:
