In math, the students have been excited to begin our work with multiplication. We began by looking at the process of multiplication and different ways to represent and solve multiplication problems such as equal groups, repeated addition and skip counting. Our focus was on the learner outcome: Understand and apply strategies for multiplication facts to 9 × 9.
We then worked through a math challenge called "Daedalus and Icarus" which required the students to utilize their knowledge of multiplication. The students were incredibly engaged in their efforts to solve the problem, many choosing to work on it over lunch. Be sure to have your child share the problem with you.
