Beyond Invert & Multiply builds on the foundational understandings that are described in Beyond Pizzas & Pies: 10 Essential Strategies for Supporting Fraction Sense, Second Edition, and applies them to situations involving fraction computation. You'll find:

  • Classroom Scenarios that address common challenges students (and teachers!) encounter as they learn to operate with fractions;
  • What's the Math? sections intended to clarify the mathematics;
  • What's the Research? insights that show why "that's the way we've always done things" might not be the most successful approach;
  • Classroom Activities with friendly, step-by-step instructions and video clips demonstrating how to teach the concepts;
  • Reproducibles that are also available in a downloadable, printable format at mathsolutions.com/beyondinvertandmultiplyreproducibles;
  • Study Questions at the end of each chapter that encourage readers to set concrete goals for implementing what they've read; and
  • Connections to the Common Core for those states implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
