Ep 317: Which Algorithm Would You Use?: Fractions Pt 2

Episode 317 Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

How can we equip students to tackle problems that do not fit a standard algorithm? In this episode, Pam and Kim experience a Problem String intended to engage fraction reasoning without traditional algorithms.

Talking Points:

  • Equivalences 
  • Percents and fractions
  • Genuine reasoning about fractional relationships
  • Playing versus commanding
  • Drawing fraction models just in case versus just in time
