Multiplication Models

I am currently teaching multiplication and division to my third graders. As the unit has progressed, it was evident that students were not understanding the relationship between the different models.

 I created this worksheet to review the different models we use to represent multiplication using Eureka and to further explain their relationship. You can get the worksheet for free at my TPT store here. 

Multiplication Today

Many parents comment about how math looks very different today.  At a recent School Open House night, we showed a PowerPoint of how math can be modeled.  We are currently in our multiplication unit, where students are learning the concept, not just facts.

As a way of reviewing the various ways to model, I had students represent a fact using arrays, number bonds, the commutative property, and equal groups.  This FREEBIE is great to hang up for an Open House or just review the different ways to model math.
