This product was designed to teach your students to break apart a factor when multiplying single digit numbers (break apart strategy / distributive property) in order to build fact fluency. This skill is always so difficult for many of my students so I created these work mats to introduce and practice the concept and use in small groups. There are 5 variations of the work mat so you can use which one you prefer. If you use Ready Math this concept is introduced in lessons 6 and 7 for third grader

Are your students struggling to understand break apart strategy (Distributive Property)? The math program my school uses, Ready Math, focuses heavily on this strategy and I created this product to build my students' conceptual understanding of the strategy and allow for lots of practice. This bundle includes my 6 worksheet Break Apart Strategy practice & Break Apart Workmat. I introduce Break Apart with the work mat and then use the worksheets for additional practice both in class and homework.

These 6 worksheets are for your students to practice breaking apart a factor to multiply one digit numbers (break apart strategy). Each worksheet focuses on breaking up a specific factor. There is a worksheet for the factors of 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These worksheets can be used to teach break apart strategy with any math program. If you use Ready Math these correlate to Lessons 6 and 7. Looking for more resources to practice break apart strategy? Check out my work mats!

Do your students need extra practice before their Ready Math lesson quizzes? Mine always do, which is why I created this! This review for the Lesson 6 quiz (Multiply by 3, 4, and 6) includes 6 problems (2 pages) to review for the test. The questions include important vocabulary and concepts covered throughout the lesson. This can be used as a whole class review, in class independent or partner practice, or sent home as homework the night before the test. It could also be used as an alternate
