While my photography and video production skills leave a lot to be desired, I am thrilled that I am able to share some of this week's work. In math we have been reviewing different strategies for solving 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication problems. Here is a chart of all the methods we have covered so far:
And, as hard as it might be to believe, we actually learned another strategy on Friday that we nicknamed "Jasmine's Way" after our student Jasmine. The greater math world calls it Lattice multiplication. It has been in use for centuries and is still taught to students in many parts of the world!
I also wanted families to see these strategies in action. Below are the videos of four students from our class solving multiplication problems using the standard algorithm, partial products, an array, and the distributive property. Feel free to use these videos to help with homework next week!
