Curso de Matemáticas de 3er Grado: Introducción a la Multiplicación y División Parte 1

In this math course, students will learn a new foundational skill for solving multiplication and division word problems. Students will be taught how to utilize the strategies of: Base 10, expanded form, repeated subtraction and addition, equal groups, and arrays. These strategies can be applied to both multiplication and division word problems and will help students better understand the foundations of multiplication and division which will better prepare them for more advanced word problems in the future. 

In each class meeting, students will be given many opportunities to share out their thought process and interact with classmates to solve word problems. Each class is also designed using the gradual release model which provides students with high support from the teacher in the beginning of the lesson and students are able to preform tasks more independently by the end of the lesson.
