Knowing, Doing, and Teaching Multiplication
Abstract
This investigation analyzes the structure and process of multidigit multiplication. It includes a review of recent theories of mathematical knowledge and a description of several fourth-grade math lessons conducted in a regular classroom setting. Four types of mathematical knowledge are identified: intuitive, concrete, computational, and principled knowledge. The author considers each type in terms of its relation to instructional issues and suggests that instruction should focus on strengthening the connections among the four types. Illustrations from instructional sessions show children generating and testing hypotheses when salient connections are made between concrete materials and principled, computational practices. Implications for teaching are discussed along with suggestions for future research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
