(coil-bound version) This is Volume 4 in the Framework Math series. It is highly recommended that students of all ages use Volume 1 before using this book. (Older students may only need the condensed version of Volume 1). If students are struggling with Addition and Subtraction, those books will also be very helpful as a foundation for this book. For more information, previews, and reviews, see www.frameworkmath.com. | Brief summary: Before students learn how to think strategically about multiplication, they usually resort to memorizing facts through ÒtricksÓ or invented songs or stories with the hope that this bank of facts can be used in a Òplug and playÓ approach in the standard algorithm for multi-digit multiplication.

This approach might work, if students are good at memorizing facts and procedures.

However, students will miss a very large portion of the ÒDeveloping Number SenseÓ journey if they just focus on instant recall of single-digit facts and then jump straight into the traditional algorithm, working with every digit of each number in isolation as they run the numbers through a gauntlet of mysterious procedures.

This entire book is strategically designed to help students build connections between numbers and operations as well as discover strategies that they can stretch to use with larger numbers.

And it's all based on one simple skill: doubling numbers.
