  • For multi-digit computation, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) specify a learning path that begins with relating written methods to visual tools (concrete models or drawings) and explaining that method using place value. In this presentation, we will discuss visual tools for all operations and how math drawings and math talk support the eight CCSS Mathematical Practices.
