Sai, Khoo Phon; Inder, Walter R. D. – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 1984
Three different models with continuous materials, discontinuous materials, and number lines were used to study the operation concept in six investigations on multiplication with fractions with pupils aged 11-12 in a Penang International School. All approaches could be understood by pupils, but they preferred the area and fractional models. (MNS)

Peer reviewedDunkels, Andrejs – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
A way to use tongue depressors in a model of multiplication is presented. The original intent was to use the sticks to teach about fractions, but "mistakes" in student responses led to new ideas. It is felt that teachers should use the model in teaching multiplication. (MP)

Vandehaar, Ann; Reed, Gail – 1979
Activities and teaching methods for developing an understanding of fractions are presented. The activities, which use mathematical models (visual representations of fractions), are divided into three sections: (1) equivalent fraction circles; (2) fraction bars; and (3) multiplication of fractional numbers using squares. Each section includes the…

Applies the Lesh Translation Model to develop conceptual understanding by showing relationships between five modes of representation proposed by Lesh to learn multiplication of fractions. Presents five teaching activities based on the translation model. (MDH)

Lampert, Magdalene – 1985
The concept of multiplication is described and illustrated using several different representational systems. A conceptual approach to teaching mathematics is compared with the procedural approach commonly found in the school curriculum. Four different methods of representing the multiplication process with numbers larger than ten are presented:…

Peer reviewedWhitman, Nancy C. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Described is a game that is used to introduce the concept of multiplying integers. Serving as a physical model for the concept, "Froggie Frolic" races frogs along a number line by moves that indicate direction, magnitude, and number of jumps, thus modeling integer multiplication. A teacher's guide and worksheets are provided. (MDH)
