I am still thinking hard about the ramifications of not only saying the denominator first, but also writing it first. In Korean, one names a fraction with the denominator, then the numerator.
Surely that affects understanding?!

Try this Problem String to get your students reasoning about fraction multiplication.
Post of shot of your board after doing it with your students!

We actually do math in our math PD, and the same is true for most of our podcast episodes. That shouldn't be weird.

New workshop just dropped:
Developing Mathematical Reasoning in Companion Animals. 🐾
Because reasoning > memorizing… even for pets.

If your students liked math until the alphabet got involved, there's a good chance they're stuck in additive thinking.

Money + give & take = fantastic strategy Allison!
How do you reason about problems like these?

Rates don’t have to be rushed.
Help students construct the idea of rates using Problem Strings, motion contexts, and double number lines.

Memorizing whole number factors is some help in factoring quadratics. Reasoning with whole number factors is an entirely different story.

Solve this #problemstring one step at a time.
How did your thinking change from one problem to the next?
• What patterns did you notice?
• Did solving one help you with another?

I think there are at least 3 different ways we use the word "strategy" in mathematics education, and we don't always realize we're talking about different things.
