ReRelease Multiplication Matters Part 1

<p>The release of the draft of the new Australian Curriculum in Mathematics has caused quite a stir. While this will be discussed in our next episode, we thought it timely to rerelease one of our most popular podcasts (edited for a quicker listen). It looks at why 'learning your tables' is not enough and how teachers can become more familiar with multiplicative thinking.</p> <p>Host Marcus Garrett and AMSI Schools Outreach Officer Leanne McMahon discuss the difference between ‘knowing multiplication facts’ and ‘multiplicative thinking’. They chat about the developmental sequence of multiplication-related concepts from the early years through to the middle years in the Australian maths curriculum.</p> RELATED LINKS:  <ul><li><a href='https://calculate.org.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/ep-2-multiplication-matters-part-1-podcast-notes-1.pdf'>Download Transcript</a></li> </ul> <ul><li><a href='https://calculate.org.au/2014/03/20/multiplication-part-one'>Multiplication Part 1</a></li> <li><a href='https://calculate.org.au/2014/03/27/multiplication-part-two'>Multiplication Part 2</a></li> <li><a href='https://calculate.org.au/2014/04/03/multiplication-part-three'>Multiplication Part 3</a></li> <li><a href='http://amsi.org.au/teacher_modules/multiplication_and_division.html'>Multiplication and Division</a></li> <li><a href='http://amsi.org.au/teacher_modules/multiplication_of_whole_numbers.html'>Multiplication of Whole Numbers</a></li> <li><a href='http://amsi.org.au/teacher_modules/Multiples_factors_and_powers.html'>Multiples, Factors and Powers</a></li> </ul>
