New TikTok video: Multiplication doesn't have to look different based on what we are multiplying

Of course you can make those same connections with the hated standard algorithm. At what point [if at all, and with time constraints allowing] should you try to equate the S.A as equivalent to the area model? [apologies, I haven't learned how to draw noses or ears yet]

@MissWillett18 maybe this is how I teach multiplying fractions next year? I’d have to play around with it first, but our kids rocked the box method this year

I had a colleague who called this the rectangle game. Even his own kids would say...not the rectangle game again!! 🙄

Can you do a video of division like this? My grade 5 students are struggling with long division. Trying to show them different strategies

Would this video help with long division?

On Wisconsin!

Love your math tips, as they help to conceptually deepen one’s number sense. Thank you for always sharing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
