CBB Multiplication and Division
The number of PD or EILA Credits will vary depending on which parts of the module are completed
The Conceptual Building Blocks are designed to build a teacher’s capacity to work with students in various settings. The approach is rooted in a concrete--semi-concrete--abstract (CSA) methodology of teaching and develops conceptual understanding along the way to procedural understanding. This module focuses on the progression of thought for multiplication and division, addressing misconceptions, problem structures, fluency, and strategies for multiplication and division. This asynchronous module can be completed in various ways. The richest learning will occur by going through the entire module. However, you may decide to only complete one or some of the sections, but not all. PD/EILA credit will be awarded based on what you complete in the module.
