Manage episode 395651517 series 2858349

Talking Points:
- We love hearing your stories!
- What kind of reasoning do fractions engage?
- What happens when students learn to mimic steps rather than reason about fractions?
- What does reasoning about fractions look like?
- Are greatest common denominators really that important?
