Learning Multiplication!

At last!  One of my favorite things to teach to my third graders - multiplication. We are working very hard (and having fun) so students understand just exactly what multiplication is. By the end of the unit, students should understand that 3 x 3 is the same thing as 3 + 3 + 3 and also know that 3 x 196 is the same thing as 196 + 196 + 196.  They may not know how to do the multiplication algorithm but they will understand the concept for 3 x 196. Please start working with your child to get their multiplication facts memorized! We have started by working on multiplying by 2, 10, 5, and 1.
