Algorithms for Multiplication and Division; In reality, no one can teach mathematics. Effective teachers are those who can stimulate students to learn mathematics. Educational research offers compelling evidence that students learn mathematics well only when they construct their own mathematical understanding Everybody Counts National Research Council, 1989;How has this student misapplied the rules for multiplying?;Multiplication and DivisionWhat are the goals for students?;Multiplication;Multiply 4 x 23;Partial Products Algorithm ;Standard Multiplication Algorithm ;Multiplicative Thinking;Multiplication Strategies12 cars with 4 wheels each.

While this list is not comprehensive, it will give you a place to begin. Often you will see evidence of more than one strategy being used.;Additional Multiplication Algorithms;Lattice Multiplication Algorithm ;Russian Peasant Multiplication;Egyptian Multiplication;Teacher’s Role;Division StrategiesThe strategies students use for division will be very similar to those they used for multiplication. As you look at student work, try to identify the kinds of strategies you see students using. This is not a comprehensive list, and often you will see evidence of more than one strategy being used.;Samantha solved this problem by multiplying groups of 32 to reach 1,780. Samantha’s solution: ;Talisha solved this problem by subtracting groups of 32 from 1,780. Talisha’s solution: ;Here is another division example. ;Walter solved this problem by multiplying groups of 54 to reach 2,500. ;;Repeated Subtraction Algorithm;Scaffold Algorithm; There are many advantages of using scaffolding: Its fun and it makes sense. It develops estimation skills. Students are engaged in mental arithmetic – they are thin
