This is an engaging game patterned after the popular Connect four game that gets to students to practice their multiplication facts, The facts are set up to progress form the easiest (1, 2, 5, 10) to the most difficult ones (11, 4, 8, 3 and 6, 9, 12, 7). I like this activity a lot because it is not based on chance but on both game strategy and progressively improving your skills at recalling the key multiplication facts The set includes four different game boards, each board at a different le

Multiplication is approached from 8 different perspectives and representations, and both the translations and the transformations from and to other representations creates the opportunity for students to develop conceptual understanding. In this first section, you will see how students might approach multiplying a one digit number by one, two or more digit numbers using both a grouping strategy and the idea of decomposing numbers. Let me clarify. In multiplication such as 4 x 26, the first nu

This collection of 10 pictorial mathematics templates will help you engage students in visual representations of concepts such as: * Place Value * Decimals * Percents * Fractions * Graphing * Adding * Subtracting * 3-D drawing of geometric figures * Ratios and Proportions They are intended to be used with the Pictorial Math See-through Sleeve, but you can use any thick sheet protector instead.
