In this unit, the students will:
- Model multiplication and division up to 5 x 5
- Find strategies to multiply and divid up to 5 x 5
- Pose and solve story problems involving multiplication and division
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 1s (Aces) to 5s. 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.
