Preview of Multiplication Array Matching Game

Multiplication Array Matching Game

Great game to match multiplication fact with it's array! I do recommend putting a smiley face sticker (or another shape or figure that can be placed right side up) on the back because the students may not find whether or not the multiplication sentence matches the array. Great Math Center or something for early finishers!

Experience

I have been teaching 3rd grade since Fall 2012. I am a math and ELA teacher leader for my district. I am currently designing a scope and sequence and curriculum for 3rd grade in the area of math and ELA. Before that, I worked in many different positions ranging from a long-term sub to working in a behavioral classroom.

Teaching style

I teach my lessons depending on my students. There are many differentiated lessons in my classroom where I realize that some students may need more/less support than others. My classroom is probably very loud compared to other classrooms. There are a lot of moments where my students turn-and-talk, are working with partners, and completing group projects. I set high expectations for all of my students and they know that! I believe each students has the potential to learn and do their best, so I hold them to it!

My own education history

I grew up in a more urban district during my elementary years and in 8th grade moved to a more suburban area where I attended middle school and high school. I went to UNCP for one year for college. After, I attended Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg, MA. I also received my masters in Reading Specialist at Fitchburg State University.
