Subject: In this second volume in a series of three, Fosnot and Dolk focus on how to develop an understanding of multiplication and division in grades 3-5. Their book describes and illustrates what it means to do and learn mathematics--provides strategies to help teachers turn their classrooms into math workshops that encourage and reflect mathematizing--examines several ways to engage and support children as they construct important strategies and big ideas related to multiplication--takes a close look at the strategies and big ideas related to division--defines modeling and provides examples of how learners construct models--with a discussion of the importance of context--discusses what it means to calculate using number sense and whether or not algorithms should still be the goal of computation instruction--describes how to strengthen performance and portfolio assessment--emphasizes teachers as learners by encouraging them to see themselves as mathematicians.
