Author Description

This curricular unit in the Contexts for Learning Mathematics (CFLM) series is a resource book for doing minilessons with strings of related problems. More powerful than just number “talks,” number “strings” ensure the development of numeracy and fluent computation. This unit may be used in grade 4, but only the beginning portion with clocks and coins. In grade 5, use the complete resource to work on all four operations with fractions.
