Implementation of Strategies

After studying the research provided in Math Misconceptions, how have you changed the way you approach math instruction? Please post any strategies that you have implemented and the impact they have had on student learning. I have chosen some questions to ponder.
Ch. 1: Number & Operations - How can you reinforce the notion that the quantity represented by a digit is the product of its face value and its place value?
Ch. 2: Algebra - Think about the types of representations your students are now using. Do they choose one representation over another because it is more efficient? How can you help your students with this?
