Standard:  Students develop an understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers through activities and problems involving equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models; multiplication is finding an unknown product, and division is finding an unknown factor in these situations. For equal-sized group situations, division can require finding the unknown number of groups or the unknown group size. Students use properties of operations to calculate products of whole numbers, using increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties to solve multiplication and division problems involving single-digit factors. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, students learn the relationship between multiplication and division.
Each week students will learn their multiplication facts for a certain number!  Students will also be taught the true meaning of multiplication.  Students will be taught how to use models/manipulatives in order to solve multiplication problems!  

Topics Covered:  Multiplication Facts 2-10

Structure of Class:  We will begin by listening to a fun multiplication song!  We will listen to the song first, next students will sing along with the song, lastly students will use a whiteboard and marker to skip count as they sing with the song.   Next we will talk about multiplication as "groups of" and multiplication as repeated addition.  Lastly, students will engage in a fun game of Kahoot where they show off their multiplication skills.
