| Comments Dr. Barbara Irvin feels that BasicMulti "enables students to
literally 'see' how to find products" which gives them a way to "figure out the
answer, not just memorize the basic facts". FracMulti and FracDivide help students to
"easily visualize" as well as to "discover how to intuitively multiply and
divide fractions before being exposed to any formal explanation."
"Overhead BasicMulti would be beneficial for
classroom use. Children should be able to work independently to practice multiplication
facts." "It presents a nice way to reinforce the learning of multiplication
facts." ---- K. Thompson, OH, from NCTM "Teaching
Children Mathematics" Magazine, Jan., 96 |
