Hurst, Chris; Hurrell, Derek – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Multiplicative thinking is widely accepted as a critically important 'big idea' of mathematics that underpins much mathematical understanding beyond the primary years. It is therefore important to ensure not only that children can think multiplicatively, but that they can do so at a conceptual rather than procedural level. This paper reports on a…

Hurst, Chris; Linsell, Chris – European Journal of STEM Education, 2020
This small study sought to determine students' knowledge of multiplication and division and whether they are able to use sets of bundling sticks to demonstrate their knowledge. Manipulatives are widely used in primary and some middle school classrooms, and can assist children to connect multiplicative concepts to physical representations.…

Hurst, Chris; Huntley, Ray – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2018
Multiplicative thinking is a critical component of mathematics which largely determines the extent to which people develop mathematical understanding beyond middle primary years. We contend that there are several major issues, one being that much teaching about multiplicative ideas is focussed on algorithms and procedures. An associated issue is…

Hurst, Chris; Hurrell, Derek – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
Multiplicative thinking is a critical stage in mathematical learning and underpins much of the mathematics learned beyond middle primary years. Its components are complex and an inability to understand them conceptually is likely to undermine students' capacity to develop beyond additive thinking. Of particular importance are the ten times…
