EDU 501: Teacher as Researcher by https://padlet.com/amiagnetti/amiturneragnetti Action Research - Multiplication en-us 2014-01-15 23:32:09 UTC 2014-01-16 00:05:44 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d262le4z25sx36.cloudfront.net/portraits/random.jpg Ami Agnetti amiagnetti https://padlet.com/amiagnetti/amiturneragnetti/wish/19522234 Potential Research Topic:

A high majority of students are

not truly learning their multiplication

facts, which has a direct result on

their understanding of future

math concepts. What is the barrier

to their learning, and which methods

would be more effective?

facts for a short-term, and even do

well on the timed tests. They do not

transfer this to long-term memory.

facts are the stepping stone to higher-level

math skills and without them, a student's

learning will be hindered.

strategies, how will I monitor

and show progress to show whether

a new method caused students

to internalize multiplication facts?

to only obtain my principal's

consent, or will I also need it

from the parents and students?
