This math unit progresses from basic counting and introductory multiplication concepts to more advanced multiplication practices and applications. Starting with visual aids like dice for counting in groups, the unit shifts to developing proficiency in skip counting by single digits and tens, both upwards and downwards. This builds foundational skills necessary for understanding numerical patterns and multiplication sequences. As the unit progresses, students engage in structured multiplication practice, focusing first on times tables and single-digit multiplication using column notation. This introduces the concept and practice of structured multiplication of integers. Additionally, the unit incorporates practical arithmetic applications with a series of topics on coin math. Here, learners calculate the total value of different U.S. coins, enhancing their skills in quick addition and multiplication while applying these concepts to everyday financial scenarios. Finally, the unit culminates in exploring fact families with multiplication and division, reinforcing the interconnectedness of these operations and solidifying a comprehensive grasp of basic arithmetic within real-life contexts.
