Multiplication for Beginners - Minecraft Multiplication!

In this class, students will learn the basic concept of multiplication using their love of Minecraft. We will review repeated addition and how it is related to multiplication. STUDENTS WILL NOT PLAY THE GAME MINECRAFT IN THIS CLASS.  This is a Minecraft themed lesson. 

This class is designed to be an introduction to multiplication. Student's knowledge of multiplication can be minimal to none. Student's ONLY prerequisite to this class is addition. This is a great lesson to introduce multiplication to students who are struggling with the concept or for students who need some extra reinforcement! 

This class begins with students watching/listening to a short power point slide to introduce the concepts taught in the lesson. Students will then participate in a guided practice activity where students will draw Minecraft objects (using grouping techniques) to model multiplication problems. Students will finish off with an independent activity using an interactive game on Kahoot.

It is recommended that students use a second device (cell phone, iPad, tablet) for Kahoot. Kahoot is FREE to use and there is NO download needed.  Also, do you do NOT need to make an account or sign up. I will send enrolled parents a link to the activity before class and I'll give a brief demonstration in class to parents. 

*Students may need parental assistance accessing this end of class activity.
