In this session you will explore ways to help students conceptually understand division of fractions. We will use hands-on manipulatives and the rectangular area model of division. How does the concept relate to the algorithm? Why do we flip the second fraction when we divide? We will utilize the CCSS Progression Documents to model how...

All students need to learn the language of mathematics. This language-focused approach to learning mathematics addresses math vocabulary with very specific meaning, as well as multi-meaning words and symbols. Dr. Molina provides many examples of language-focused conceptual instruction such as a chapter on order of operations, and two chapters on fractions. We will meet and...
