Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to suggest how to modify and apply multiplication
models in order to link to students’ conceptual understanding on multiplicative
relationship based on a measurement perspective. A research group in Russia proposed
the measurement perspectives based quantitative reasoning. To this end, we analyze
multiplication models commonly used in basal texts such as repeated addition, equal size
group, and an array. In addition, we apply the measurement approach to explain how
each model and diagram demonstrates the mathematical meaning of multiplication and
multiplicative reasoning in whole numbers and rational numbers.
