Oftentimes we’re taught how to invert and multiply, but a lot of students don’t understand why the invert and multiply operation works. This video showcases why we invert and multiply when dividing fractions.

YouTube video by Science of Teaching Math Teachers Should Encourage Their Students to Succeed

When students make mistakes, they are often attributed to social stereotypes. Teachers need to encourage every student to succeed and resist their cognitive biases.

Did you know? Research shows that students have an easier time partitioning rectangles vs. circles. Consider using them in your classroom when introducing fractions!

Sometimes, the same correct answer in math is seen differently based on who the student is, which can lead to unfair treatment. The aim is to make learning fairer so that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Why Teachers Need More Than Just Subject Knowledge
YouTube video by Science of Teaching Math Why Teachers Need More Than Just Subject Knowledge

Knowing the subject isn’t enough. Great teaching requires Pedagogical Content Knowledge - the skill of knowing what to teach and how to teach it.
