Episode Synopsis

What if finding equivalence between fractions, decimals, and precents wasn't just a task for students to do, but a tool making them more efficient in rational number computations? In this episode Pam and Kim talk about code switching with rational numbers to make complex problems more figure-out-able.Talking Points:What is code switching in rational numbers?A Problem String using equivalence to think about multiplicationTasks that use equivalency to solve problems rather than just practicing conversionsSee episode 219 for learning about finding the mean: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/episodes/15561786Check out our social mediaTwitter: @PWHarrisInstagram: Pam Harris_mathFacebook: Pam Harris, author, mathematics educationLinkedin: Pam Harris Consulting LLC
