The purpose of this task is to help students see that 4_(9+2) is four times as big as (9+2). Though this task may seem very simple, it provides students and teachers with a very useful visual for interpreting an expression without evaluating it.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about selecting the incorrect statement.

In this Cyberchase activity, students begin by using manipulatives to share objects among different sized groups. After watching a video clip that demonstrates dealing out rounds (or sets) of objects to solve a problem, the students work on a few division problems on their own. A second video clip demonstrates how to solve such problems using numbers. With the handout, students learn to write these problems as multiplication and division facts.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about shortening multiplication expressions (associative property).

This is a fun interacive game in which students throw virtual snowballs at the correct answer as a way to practice multiplication fact fluency.

This resource is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson, students will play a game and see multiplication as combining equal groups, use repeated addition and other strategies to find the total number of stars, and record answers by writing equations.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson, students explore multiplication and division concepts through the use of numberless word problems and use various strategies to solve a second problem.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. It was written with the intent that it would be taught on Day 10 of Cluster 1. In this lesson, students explore the concept of multiplication by thinking about things that come in groups. They connect equations to story problems that involve equal groups, use various strategies to solve those problems, and share their thinking by communicating their reasoning and sharing solutions.

This lesson is from Tools4NCTeachers. It was written with the intent of being taught on Day 7 of Cluster 1. This lesson focuses on repeated addition and skip counting to provide a conceptual understanding of multiplication. The lesson also provides opportunities for teachers to discuss the role of collaboration with classmates.

This lesson is from Tools4NCTeachers. It was written with the intent to be taught during the first day of Cluster 1.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. This lesson focuses on repeated addition and identifying errors in skip counting. The activities provide opportunities for teachers to discuss the role of dealing with errors while establishing a classroom community of mathematicians.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson students find the area of rectangles with single-digit dimensions by using various strategies including multiplying the length by the width.
