Math - COS 2 - Multiplication and Division Continue with Daily Practice Problems and Test on Friday. Multiplication Timed Test each week - 20 problems in a minute. Number talks Monday - Session 2.1 p. 70-76 - Naming Multiplication Strategies Students will work on identifying multiple strategies that can be used to solve multiplication problems. Many students may have a way that works for them already. Our goal is to target those who do not have a solid strategy and introduce other possible strategies to all students. Students will make a poster with 35 x 28

Tuesday - Session 2.2 p. 77-84 - Comparing Representations Students will work on more number clues Using 1 from each (Card A, Card B, and Card C). Also introduce/review arrays that can be used in multiplication problems. This is much like the box strategy but the sizes of the boxes are in relationship to the number.

Wednesday - Session 2.3 p. 85-90 - Which Product is Greater? Discuss how knowing a basic fact such as 6 x 4 = 24 can be used in solving problems like 6 x 40, 6 x 400, 60 x 400. Introduce the Multiplication Compare game. Play a couple of rounds together and then allow the students to work in pairs to continue the came. Object is to use the discussion from earlier to find which problem has a greater product. Students will win by having the problem that is greater. A quick review of greater/less than symbols may be needed.

Thursday - Session 2.4 and Session 2.5 p. 91-99 - Multiplication Cluster Problems Introduce Multiplication Cluster Problems. Students are taught to find simpler problems or rounding a number up to find an easier route to get to the correct answer. WB p. 35 is a practice sheet for this strategy. There is a math workshop during this time. Students will play multiplication compare and the teacher may pull students to work on cluster problems.

Friday - Session 2.6 p.100 - 103 - How Do I Start? Students will discuss and practice ways to get started on multiplication problems. Rather than using the actual box method students are asked to identify problems they can use to start to solve a problem. The problems they use may actually be the problems that are typically found in the box.

Math - COS 2

Remember to continue timed multiplication tests 20 prob. per min. Number talks, and Weekly Practice Problems.

Monday - Ses. 2.1 - Naming Multiplication Strategies Students will work on naming and explaining various mulitplication strategies that they use. They will create a poster to display this.

Tuesday - Ses. 2.2 - Comparing Representations Students will use number clues, one from A, B, and C to solve the puzzle. Students will also be introduced to multiplication arrays (much like the box) by showing the size of the box is relative to the value of the number.

Wednesday - Ses 2.3 - Which Product is Greater? Students will discuss multiplying by 10's with problems such as 6 x 4, 60 x 4, 60 x 40, 600 x 40. They will also be introduced to the Multiplication Compare Game.

Thursday - Ses. 2.4 and Ses. 2.5 - Multiplication Cluster Problems. Students will be introduced to the Cluster Strategy used in solving multiplication. You may meet with small groups to do this while others play the multiplication compare game

Friday - Session 2.6 - Starter Problems Students will be introduced to Starter Problems that is a strategy that could be used in multiplication. Daily Practice Quiz.
