Teacher & Student Tasks
1.
Activate
knowledge- Ask students to "show me how to use unifix cubes to solve 5X3 "
2.
Demonstrate
the correct way to use unifix cubes and the 100s chart to solve
multiplication problems.
3.
Strategy
steps: see below
4.
As a
group, find 5X2 and 3X5 and 4X3. Do these together and check for understanding.
5.
Pass out
a worksheet for practice solving math problems using the multiplication
table.
6.
Put a
star next to each problem they get correct.

Rationale
1.
This
will be a great way to get their brains working right away and have them at
least show you what they’ve learned previously using the multiplication
table.
2.
They
should feel good about trying.
