A Focus on Multiplication and Division: Bringing Research to the Classroom (Hulbert, Petit, Ebby, Cunningham, Laird) • Most chapters have a focus on the important mathematics content related to multiplication and division • Review of the mathematics education research throughout with over one hundred samples of student work that illustrate the evidence linked to the research. • Short descriptions in most chapters of how the CCSSM relates to the multiplication or division topic and math education research under discussion. • A dedicated chapter on the OGAP Multiplicative Framework (which includes the Multiplication and Division Progressions) © OGAPMath.

“Multiplicative reasoning is more than just doing multiplication or division. It is about understanding situations in which multiplication or division is an appropriate operation. It involves a way of viewing situations and thinking about them. ” from NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (PSSM, 2000) Examine Figures 1. 6 – 1. 9 in Chapter 1: What is Multiplicative Reasoning? © OGAPMath.

Multiplicative Reasoning: The Mathematics Read pages 1 -6 STOP and JOT - Say Something Protocol: 1. Partners look over a piece of text and read to the designated point. 2. Once partners have reached the stopping point, both partners say something. (The something might be a question, a brief summary, a key point, an interesting idea or a new connection. ) 3. Partners continue this process until the selection is completed. © OGAPMath.

Important Ideas About the Multiplication and Division Progressions (Ch. 2 pages 27 -29) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Movement along the Progressions is not linear Students’ strategies will be at different levels The Progressions provide instructional guidance The Progressions are not evaluative Collection of underlying issues and errors is important Groups of 3: A - read #1, 4, and 5 B - read # 2 C - read #3 Be prepared to share the important information, referring to the Progressions for clarity. © OGAPMath.
