Math Learning Goals:

3.4J(S)- determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division

3.4 G – use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply a 2-digit by a one-digit number.  Strategies may include mental math; partial products, and the commutative, associative and distributive properties.

3.4 F- Recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division fact

3.4 H- Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally

3.4 K- solve one-step and two-step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies based on objects; pictorial models, including arrays, area models, and equal groups; properties of operations; or recall facts

Math Homework:

  • Please study your multiplication facts (0,1,2,3,4,6) . We will have a Mad Minute on Wednesday, 15th. Students will have one minute to solve 30 multiplication facts. This is not for a grade. We will set goals each week to improve fact fluency.
