Connecting the Standards: How Does Multiplication and Division Fluency Develop?

Dive into the rich mathematical progression of multiplication and division as outlined by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This dynamic workshop invites educators to explore how multiplication and division concepts are developed across the elementary grades, supporting students in building deep conceptual understanding alongside procedural fluency. Participants will trace the trajectory of learning from early equal groups and array models to the development of standard algorithms, all while emphasizing the importance of reasoning, place value understanding, and the properties of operations. Through engaging tasks, classroom-ready tools, and collaborative discussions, this session will empower educators to make purposeful instructional decisions that align with the standards' intent.

Goals (appears on the evaluation form):

Learning Goals:

Unpack the CCSS progression for multiplication and division from Grades 2 through 6
Examine how visual models (arrays, number lines, area models) support student thinking and lead to abstract understanding
Explore the role of properties (e.g., distributive, associative) in building flexible strategies and efficient algorithms.
