This manipulative and the previous one differ only in using multiplication instead addition. One way of preparing the manipulatives is pass out the print of the previous manipulative to half of your groups and this manipulative to the other half. Supply card stock, rubber cement and scissors to make the solution strips. Once completed, the groups can interchange their sets and compose the problem solution. The sets so produced form sets for future use.
Lamination can further improve the permanence of the sets.
Laminated sets can be obtained from the author at cost. Request by e-mail . Comments are important and appreciated. Please comment . A SureMath solution.
