Multiplying Fractions Is More Than Just a Rule!
Description
Multiplying fractions needs to be taught conceptually not through a rule. Participants will have opportunities to compare mathematical representations vs. strategies when multiplying fractions and apply both using manipulatives and visual models. This session will close with participants connecting what they have learned and applying it in context.
