This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about shortening multiplication expressions.
This resource is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. This resource was created to provide formative assessment items for teachers that are rigorous. It aligns to Question 1. Teachers can give the assessment at one time, or they can split the assessment up and give 1 or 2 items at a time. This can be remixed, but please keep the rigor of the items high, and include an answer key!
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. 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.
This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. It was written with the intent that it would taught on Day 8 of Cluster 1. This is lesson focuses on repeated addition and a conceptual understanding of multiplication. As students act out and draw representations to solve math problems, the idea that mathematicians draw pictures and use tools such as number lines to help them solve problems is reinforced.
