I teach grades 3 through 6. And I notice that many of my students are held back because they are still thinking additively. They need to be capable of understanding abstract thought to reason multiplicatively. I’m very interested to learn about the early stages of this development, and what experiences help set the stage for proportional reasoning to develop.
