Can you use an algorithm to solve every type of problem, or are there some problems for which algorithms leave you stranded? In this episode, Pam and Kim answer that question and share a Problem String to build fractional fluency.

Talking Points:

• Importance of understanding the relationships between different fractions.
• Making sense of equivalent fraction values through experiences rather than memorized procedures.
• Problem Strings provide continual building and strengthening of relationships and skills.
• Problems Strings send the message it is not about one and only one way.
