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 3: Operating with Large Magnitude Numbers

Participants will:

Explore the importance of units and base ten reasoning
Explore different multiplicative problem types and algorithms
Engage with models that support sense-making for multiplication and division
Participate in and plan for multiplication opportunities throughout a structured math block

You will receive a Zoom link the day before the event. Please contact ashleymarlow@alllearnersnetwork.com with any questions.
