Downton, Ann; Giumelli, Kerry; McHugh, Barbara; Stenning, Paul – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
The shift from additive to multiplicative thinking is challenging for students. A professional learning program was developed that focused on an identified area of need by teachers, namely multiplicative thinking. Program content focused on concepts underpinning multiplicative thinking, pedagogical approaches, challenging tasks, and application to…

Tzur, Ron; Johnson, Heather L.; Hodkowski, Nicola M.; Jorgensen, Cody; Nathenson-Mejia, Sally; Wei, Bingqian; Smith, Amy; Davis, Alan – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
This study examines how a PD program to promote teachers' shift toward a student-adaptive pedagogy impacts students' multiplicative reasoning. We describe the underpinnings of this pedagogy and main components of the PD program. Then, we present key features of participants, data collection/analysis methods, and the written assessment used to…
