Bridging Whole Number to Fractions with Mental Actions
Empower your students to progress from using additive thinking to developing multiplicative reasoning for multiplying and dividing. Students can develop facility with these basic facts through multiplicative structuring of composite units. Come and learn how you can support your students to see quantities as “chunks of chunks” through positionality, screening, and color-coding of manipulatives such as n-tiles and arrays. This work is based on Dr. Robert J. Wright’s and Dr. David Ellemor-Collins’s research and their accompanying text, The Learning Framework in Number.
