Beginner Level
In this class, students will learn a lot of different strategies to help master multiplication facts/equations. Students will learn that there are many different ways to arrive at the product to a multiplication equation than just memorization. I will cover different strategies such as drawing arrays, dot trick, skip-counting, drawing equal groups, discovering patterns for different multiplication facts, etc. This class will be structured to meet twice a week for eight weeks. We will start off by reviewing what multiplication is, then I have broken down the facts 2-12 over the course of eight weeks. I will teach through a hands-on method. Students will need something to write with for each session. We will do a lot of practice and independent work during the sessions. My teaching style is allowing the students to practice and make mistakes. Making mistakes is a part of learning and it helps us become better at what we are working on. Learners will interact with me through discussions and explaining their thinking/why they solved a problem the way they did.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to multiply fluently.Students will learn different tips and tricks to help make multiplication easier.
