Weekly Update

 Happy Friday!

Here is one of the activities we have been working on this week: Multiplication & Division Strategies!

Learning Intentions:

• Analyze and apply strategies for multiplication and division within 100 (Grade 3)
• Recall and apply multiplication number facts, with factors to 12, and related division number facts (Grade 4)
• Investigate multiplication and division strategies
• Compose a product using equal groups of objects
• Relate multiplication to repeated addition
• Relate multiplication to skip counting
• Model a quotient by partitioning a quantity into equal groups or groups of a certain size
• Visualize and model products and quotients as arrays
• Recognize interpretations of multiplication and division in various contexts

We have started our unit on multiplication and division! We have explored what these concepts mean and how multiplication & division are connected. We are now working on familiarizing ourselves with different strategies we can use to solve multiplication and division equations and word problems. We have practiced drawing equal groups, making arrays and using repeated addition and subtraction to solve equations. We discussed how everyone has a preferred method of solving equations, but it is important to be familiar with different strategies so that we have multiple tools we can access when working through various problems. Ask your child to model equal groups, arrays, and repeated addition and subtraction, and ask them what their preferred strategy is!
