Class Experience

Find multiplication boring?  Having trouble moving from memorizing your facts to multiplying bigger numbers? Haven't learned a way to multiply two or three digit numbers by two digit numbers that makes sense? This class may be for you!  
     Students will learn through interactive lessons.  Students will interact at home with manipulatives and in class by sharing solutions and discussion with me and other students.

     Class will begin with a mental math warm up.  We will then review practice problems briefly and launch into each class, focusing on these methods:

(Lesson 1)  Building concept of multiplication by looking at things that come in sets
                   Forming measured models, arrays, and counted models to represent multiplication
(Lesson 2)  Develop fluency with single digit multiplication facts using an area model
(Lesson 3)  Use base-ten blocks to build and visualize the process of multiplication
(Lesson 4)  Use base-ten to break apart numbers to find partial products and combine to get total product
(Lesson 5)  Practice squaring two digit numbers
(Lesson 6)  Learn short cuts for multiplying by 11 and 12
(Lesson 7)  Learn lattice multiplication method
(Lesson 8)  Explore patterns in multiplication table
(Lesson 9 and 10)  Apply methods in real-world problems

I may modify these plans based on the needs of the class.  For example, younger students with little experience in multiplication may need more time with the facts and understanding the operation itself.  More advanced students may need to move more quickly to the different methods.

Learning Goals

Students will:
--understand meaning of multiplication as the union of equal sets and observe, search, discover, and imagine objects or events that come in sets
--develop fluency with single digit multiplication facts
--use area model to provide meaning for the multiplication operation
--recognize  the role of base-ten number system in multiplication
--visualize a pattern of partial products connected to place value concepts
--use the value of each digit to break apart multiplication problem (using partial products)
--practice squaring two-digit numbers to gain fluency with  multiplication facts
--use conncetions to common algorithms for multiplicaiton to learn to multiply by 11 and 12
--use lattice multiplication
--explore patterns in a multiplication table
--apply knowledge gained to solve real world problems using any method desired

Other Details

Supply List
Print outs will be posted prior to class for each class.

For lessons 3 and 4, base ten blocks would be very helpful.  I use these all the time in class.  A starter set or single student set should work well.  Also available are virtual base ten blocks, such as those on didax.com.

Students should have colored pencils or crayons, paper, and something to write with for each class.  Scissors may be needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hear multiplication and think yuck?  Have you been taught that never-ending long multiplication method that your parents and grandparents had to do?  Did you know there are lots of ways you can solve multiplication problems?  Please join me to learn about some more methods!

I taught full-time for sixteen years, and math is one of my favorite subjects! I excel in teaching thinking, problem solving, and pattern finding, not just teaching isolated methods that may not mean much to students.  I believe in providing for play, discussion, and materials you can hold and move in math.  I have a Masters of Special Education of Academically and Intellectually Gifted Students, and taught in a magnet school for gifted students for eight years.  This means I am an expert at challenging students, delving deep into topics, and helping those for whom math isn't their greatest strength.
