Description of Presentation:
This was an exploratory study focused on investigating a possible gap in students’ conceptual understanding of the relationship between “place holder zeroes” and place value in multi-digit multiplication. Survey data suggested that the term “placeholder zero” may be causing a misunderstanding of actual place value within multi-digit multiplication.
