Fluency is more than memorization of isolated facts. Students need to see connections between facts. They need visual models to help form a “mind picture” that connects to a thinking strategy. In this edWebinar, James Burnett, President and Senior Author at ORIGO Education, demonstrates easy-to-make visual aids and games that help students to master the three basic fact strategies for multiplication (Use Tens, Doubling, and Build Up/Down) and one strategy for division (Think Multiplication) as described in contemporary standards that are used across the country.

In this record session, James:

• Demonstrates the use of powerful models that give students a visual picture of thinking strategies for multiplication and division as described in contemporary standards
• Shows various games for reinforcing and practicing number fact skills
• Illustrates how basic fact strategies can be extended and applied to numbers beyond the number fact range

Grades 3-5 teachers and administrators, including math supervisors, math curriculum directors, special education professionals, and math interventionists are invited to watch this edWebinar. Learn new math strategies for multiplication and division to support your students!
