Third graders have been exploring multiplication in math. We have been looking at multiplication in the many ways it can be expressed and visualized - as groups of objects, as groups of a number skip-counted on a number line, or as skip-counting on a hundreds chart, and recently we looked at multiplication represented as an array of objects.On Valentine's Day, we used conversation hearts to demonstrate different multiplication arrays. In partners, students took turns rolling two dice and building an array that matched the numbers they rolled. They then determined the two multiplication sentences that could express the array they created.
