In this unit, the students will:
- Compose a product using equal groups of objects.
- Relate multiplication to repeated addition.
- Relate multiplication to skip counting.
- Investigate multiplication by 0.
- Model a quotient by partitioning a quantity into equal groups or groups of a certain size, with or without remainders.
- Visualize and model products and quotients as arrays.
- Recognize interpretations of multiplication and division in various contexts.
- Investigate multiplication and division strategies.
- Multiply and divide within 100.
- Verify a product or quotient using inverse operations.
- Determine a missing quantity in a product or quotient in a variety of ways.
- Express multiplication and division symbolically.
- Explain the meaning of the remainder in various situations.
- Solve problems using multiplication and division in sharing or grouping situations.
- Examine patterns in multiplication and division, including patterns in multiplication tables and skip counting.
- Recognize families of related multiplication and division number facts.
- Recall multiplication number facts, with factors to 10, and related division facts.
You can encourage your child to share different strategies used to multiply and divide.
We use multiplication and division in many day-to-day situations. Here are some suggestions for activities you can try at home:
- Look for things that come in groups of 2, 3, 4, and 5 and create problems. For example: Bikes have 2 tires. How many tires are on 4 bikes?
- Use a deck of of playing cards, using only the numbered cards. Shuffle the cards. Flip the first card. This represents the number of groups. Flip the second card. This represents the number of objects in each group. Have your child draw the picture to match the cards, and write a multiplication and division sentence to match the picture. Continue until all the cards are used up.
