Capitalizing on Prior Knowledge

Using the Area Model to Teach High School Topics

Students come to us with a working knowledge and procedural skill set rooted in the use of area models. Learn how to tap into that knowledge to teach a range of topics, including multiplication and factoring polynomials, and as an alternative to synthetic division and long division of polynomials.

Through the use of a mathematical model, participants will move from using area models to the tabular method as a means to multiply, factor, and divide whole numbers and polynomials.
