- 3. CRA – A Sequence of Instruction 3 C = Concrete. Use materials to focus on the development of conceptual understanding, while starting to make connections to procedures. During this stage, students might work with base ten blocks, fraction bars, red and yellow chips, tiles, cubes, etc...
- 4. CRA – A Sequence of Instruction 4 R = Representational. Connect the previous work with concrete materials to other representations, especially drawings. Students think more deeply about both concepts and procedures. They might use circles, tallies, rectangles, drawings, etc...

Editor's Notes
- Take pics of representations – 5 groups of 3, 3 groups of 5, a 3x5 array How is division related to multiplication? Do all of these representations have the same meaning? Emphasize that a context can help us understand the meaning of division (and create a matching representation)
- Do and discuss Show video of my students solving this problem
- Do and discuss connection between the representational strategies and the previous work with blocks. If time, demonstrate this problem on iPad app “Dare to Share” as well Using Explain Everything demo circle division for 78 divided by 3, then challenge group with 672 / 5
- Allow participants time to solve and discuss, then present their strategies.
- Handouts – decimal grids, number lines
- Ample discussion here to work out the meaning of multiplication in this context.
- Ample discussion before clicking to reveal images Note – model with the blocks how these are done concrete
- The digits are the same. The only uncertainty is – where does the decimal go? How can we use reasoning to determine where to place the decimal?
- Step through each.
- Solicit ideas. Common possibilities included after click
- Solicit ideas. Common possibilities included after click Before moving on, note that the next lesson would have the students solve several problems using reasoning – then analyze them to look for patterns. Students DISCOVER the algorithm of counting decimal places this way
- .3 in each of 3 groups
- Circles Decimal grids Number line Bar model
- Notice that we are now dividing a whole number by a decimal instead of dividing a decimal by a whole number. How does that change things in the problem?
- Number line Bar model Why won’t circle division work here?
- Number lines can help understand why one quotient is so small, and one is so large
- Step through each one
- Solicit ideas. Common possibilities included after click
- Step through each one
- Solicit ideas. Common possibilities included after click This one is especially challenging because the decimal isn’t needed for the quotient. Point out the common misconception that the algorithm of counting decimal places doesn’t work here, as in multiplication. Invite discussion on this point. Goal end time – 3:30
- Note both area model and bar model if no one else mentions these
- Note both area model and bar model if no one else mentions these
- Note and demonstrate the use of area model algorithm if no one else does A good time to demonstrate Think Blocks app – Fractions Version
- Note and demonstrate the use of area model algorithm if no one else does A good time to demonstrate Think Blocks app – Fractions Version
- Talk through each example End goal time (2:30 + break)
- 10 problems are posted around the room for groups to solve (20 mins) Debrief with an emphasis on pictures for problems 1, 2, 4, and 5 End goal time is 4:05
- Note the tendency of students to look for a rule/short cut which causes problems when ½ div by 5 is much different than 5 div by ½ Allow time to work independently, share in group, and discuss
