Develop multiplication skills with your class. Youngsters will visualize multiplication as repeated addition. Then they will create a multiplication bug book and discover arrays as a strategy for multiplication problem solving....

Use a kinesthetic activity to elucidate ordered pairs and coordinate planes. Arrange desks in a square array and distribute to learners cards with ordered pairs based on the locations of their seats. By having various groups of...

Break up multiplication into more easily conceptualized math operations. Scholars first examine an array of apples and write a multiplication sentence to represent it. Then, they determine which of four sets of addends is equivalent to a...

Rather than simply have your scholars memorize multiplication facts, be sure they understand the process behind each equation. There are four arrays of objects here; mathematicians write a multiplication sentence for each. Next, they...

Students study the controversy surrounding the proposed Frederick Douglass Circle monument in Central Park. They review the notion of historical inaccuracy by reading and discussing the article, "In Douglass Tribute, Slave Folklore and...

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Second graders are introduced to arrays as a means for multiplication readiness. Once students are comfortable with naming the array by counting the columns and rows, they integrate skip counting.

In this lesson on the distributive property of multiplication, students explore expanded form, learn key vocabulary, and apply their learning to a real-life scenario.
