Multiplicative reasoning empowers students to move beyond additive thinking — to conceptualize multiple groups simultaneously, unitize, grasp the relationships between groups, and discern patterns within our number system. This foundational understanding is essential for success in more complex mathematics in later years.

This workshop is part of our math content series, which builds strong pedagogical skills while deepening content knowledge, using the High Leverage Concepts maps and progressions as a guide. Educators learn high-impact teaching strategies that develop conceptual understanding within multiplicative reasoning. Participants are not required to attend all three days, but attending the full series is strongly encouraged.

Part 2: Multiplicative Reasoning — From Basic Facts to Fact Fluency

Participants will:

Extend the foundations of multiplicative reasoning to larger numbers
Explore how critical multiplicative ideas build toward fractional and proportional reasoning, with explicit connections to unit rates
Examine opportunities to build multiplicative reasoning throughout a balanced math block
Discuss instructional practices that deepen students' multiplicative reasoning through problem-solving tasks
Deepen understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division to support student success
