Teacher tip
Ask kids to look for a 2 and a 5 to make 10 first. It shows why order doesn’t matter.
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
Lost place value in the second partial product. Remind kids to write the zero first.
Talk about it
- Where do you see equal groups outside of school?
