Today during math students practiced using a hundred’s chart for skip counting to solve multiplication problems. Many students had "ah-ha" moments after colouring in boxes on the 100’s chart as we skip counted. We reinforced this by writing out the repeated addition sentence as well as multiplication sentence. Students were then challenged to put all their knowledge of multiplication to practice as they created their own word problems. They were given a graphic organizer to assist them (see below). Students got a chance to share their problems with their classmates.
During writing each table group got a chance to share their story map from yesterday. It was very interesting to hear each of the problems the groups came up with! One thing we are continuing to work on is making sure there is a clear problem in our stories by asking ourselves “What does the main character need or want?” We will continue working with this throughout the week as we start planning for our own stories.
Please continue to practice spelling words, read, and use mathletics at home to supplement the work we are doing in the classroom.
Question of the Day
Luke has a collection of hockey cards. He has 5 pages with 4 hockey cards on each page. How many hockey cards does Luke have in all?
Which method did you use to solve the problem?
Have a great night!
