This article provides step by step examples of how teachers can scaffold students' transition from additive to multiplicative thinking. Some of the challenges of learning multiplicative thinking are discussed.
Multiplicative thinking is important for students’ learning of key topics in mathematics such as algebra, geometry, measurement, fractions, statistics, and probability. This study employed an embedded mixed-method approach to investigate primary school teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge for developing multiplicative thinking in students. The s...
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has provided rich data displays informing the public about the spread of infection, risks for certain population groups and the effectiveness of vaccines. These data sources offer opportunities for students and teachers to explore and discuss data of high relevance to their lives and thei...
The importance of multiplicative thinking in supporting students' learning of key topics and success in further mathematics is widely and clearly stated in mathematics education literature. However, multiplicative thinking is not clearly stated in curriculum documents of many countries including Australia. In the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics,...
