Rather than “yours is not to reason why, just invert and multiply,” focus on making reasoning why the core of students’ work with fractions. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) call for students to use what they know of whole-number computation to make sense of fractions. The session will address the CCSS and include strategic use of technology.
