Zaferos, Melanie – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2016
This investigation presents students with the challenge of determining the total number of eggs in a photograph of a stack of egg trays. The perspective of the photograph does not allow students to count all the individual eggs in the top tray but does allow them to see the number of eggs in one row and one column of the top tray. During this…

Kinzer, Cathy J.; Stanford, Ted – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
This article presents a sequence of learning activities that lead to using the area model of multiplication to understand the distributive property (DP). The connection between area and multiplication is an important one, both for algebraic thinking and for geometry, as indicated in two of the critical areas for the third grade in the Common Core…

Fuson, Karen C. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Provides an alternative to traditional instruction in multiplication and division to develop computational fluency in students. (Author/NB)

Wickett, Maryann S. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Focuses on children making sense of multiplication. In an activity called "Silent Multiplication," students use what they know about easier multiplication problems to solve increasingly difficult, related problems mentally. (Author/NB)

Kouba, Vicky L.; Franklin, Kathy – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Discusses mathematics education research on multiplication and division which implies that instruction should emphasize development of a sound conceptual basis for multiplication and division rather than memorization of tables and rules. Presents action research ideas. (10 references) (MKR)
