Fourth graders learn not just how to solve multiplication problems, but how to be efficient problem solvers and critical thinkers as they choose the most efficient solution strategies as well. In this episode we dive into the nitty gritty of multiplication strategies that fourth graders use and go beyond just the standard algorithm. If you've ever felt like your child's multiplication homework looks like a foreign language to you because the strategies look so different from the way you learned growing up, then this is the episode for you! Tune in to learn about the strategies fourth graders use to problem solve, as well as some "subtle support" ideas for you to try at home to support your fourth grader's independent problem-solving skills. For more information, ideas and listening guides, visit my website: www.mathcoachconnection.com
