What kids do

“How many groups? How many dots in each group? Write the multiplication sentence.”

Teacher tip

Ask kids to say each picture as “groups of” before they write the multiplication sentence.

How to use it

  • Start with two minutes of skip counting out loud for the tables on the sheet.
  • Let kids draw quick arrays for any fact they don’t know yet.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Kids who add instead of multiply when they are tired. Ask them to read the sign out loud.

Talk about it

  • Why does turning the factors around give the same product?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Have kids write a story problem for one fact and draw the groups.
