Lead Speaker:

Can your students discuss the following: "Must I invert when dividing fractions? If a × b = c, when is a < b < c? Do two negatives always make a positive? Is this ever true: a/b + c/d = (+ c)/(b + d) ever true?" Investigate a rich curriculum with questioning and discourse strategies that encourage students to construct and critique viable arguments.
