Building Computational Fluency: Multiplication & Division

When teachers understand how children make sense of multiplication and division, they are better able to create strategies that support students in developing computational fluency. Using student work samples and video clips, we will explore how children develop meaningful, efficient, and accurate computational strategies for multiplication and division. We'll examine mathematical ideas central to multiplication and division, thereby deepening mathematical content knowledge. Additionally, we'll analyze the role of the traditional algorithm in a standards-based elementary mathematics classroom.

      Julie Broderick, MSEd, is a fifth-grade teacher of mathematics, literacy, and social studies at The School at Columbia University. In 2011, she received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Previously she taught second, third, and fifth grades at the Manhattan School for Children. She regularly teaches math classes at the Bank Street Graduate School, and she leads math workshops in elementary schools throughout the NYC area. Ms. Broderick has an MS in Applied Linguistics from Georgetown University and an MSEd in Math Leadership from Bank Street College. She has a BA in government and linguistics from The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA.
"Julie was an absolutely incredible instructor! I hope every teacher gets to take a class taught by her in their career."

I came away with "Some practical ways to implement constructivist mathematical processes, ways to engage students in math.

I learned "Concrete ways to incorporate investigations and other learning activities. Better understanding of how to create classroom culture that encourages sharing and knowledge building. Amazing resources for improving my teaching."
