This math unit progresses through various multiplication skills, starting with basic visualization techniques in moving from models to equations using both 1 and 2-digit numbers. It then shifts focus towards enhancing fluency in single-digit multiplications and later introduces multiplication involving the number 12 and 17 for robust times table practice. As the unit progresses, there is an emphasis on multiplying whole numbers, both by breaking down 2-digit numbers for simplified computation and utilizing column formats for accuracy. Towards the end, students tackle more complex multiplications involving tens, hundreds, and thousands, building up to handling multiplication problems that require determining missing values. This advanced practice consolidates a thorough understanding of multiplication across different scales, essential for proficient problem-solving in math. Each step of the unit is crafted to build upon previous skills, leading to a comprehensive mastery of multiplication.Skills you will learn include:
