Multiplication Lessons....Continuation

It has been really fun for me to watch the students start to gain confidence in their skills and start to challenge themselves in solving multiplication problems. 

Here is an example of one we have worked on:

How many toes in a group of 3 people?  The students worked out this problem using 2 different strategies that we learned this week:

• Skip Counting: 3 X 10 = 10, 20, 30

• Repeated Addition: 3 X 10 = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

At home this week I would like your child to make up two more multiplication problems for us to solve in maths.  Have fun.
