Math:
This week in math, the students will begin to find related multiplication facts by adding and subtracting equal groups in array models.  They will model the distributive property of multiplication with arrays to decompose units as a strategy to multiply.  The students will model division as the unknown factor in multiplication using arrays and tape diagrams.  They will also interpret the quotient as the number of groups or the number of objects in each group using units of 2 and 3.
Examples of distributive property using arrays:











Things to practice at home:
Practice multiplication facts 2-10.
Create multiplication and division word problems to solve using arrays, equal groups, and multiplication facts.
Practice the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication.
