How do we help students build thinking structures in rational number? One way is to help them understanding how big ideas and strategies in multiplication and division are foundational for reasoning in rational number. In this one-day Think Tank for Grades 2-5, participants will have an opportunity to explore a variety of short (5-7 minute) reasoning routines designed to build critical connections between core big ideas and strategies in the number strand.
