Partner/Small Group Task Multiplication using area models to understand that numbers can be decomposed into “nice” numbers for multiplication and addition. Practice Task Individual/Partner Task One-digit by 2-digit multiplication MGSE3.MD.7 In this task, students will model multiplication of 2-digit numbers using base-ten blocks to create partial products. 3-Act Task Whole Group Distributive property of multiplication MGSE3.MD.7 In this task, students will use their understanding of area models to represent the distributive property to solve problems associated with an Olympic cola display. Practice Task Partner/Small Group Task Practicing multiplication facts using area models MGSE3.MD.6 MGSE3.MD.7 In this task, students will apply multiplication problems to the matching area model/array Constructing Task Partner/Small Group Analyze patterns formed when skip-counting on the 1-100 chart MGSE3.OA.9 In this task, students look for number patterns relationship to multiplication. Practice Task Partner/Small Group Discovering patterns using a multiplication chart MGSE3.OA.9 In this task, students will identify patterns and their relationship to multiplication and division. Constructing Task Small group/Partner Applying area and problem solving MGSE3.OA.8 This task provides students with experiences solving multistep real world problems. Constructing Task Individual/Partner Write multiplication story problems MGSE3.OA.8 In this two part task, students will first work in groups to solve two-step word problems. Student groups will then create their own two-step word problems to

The following pages of the book will cover the fact families that show definitive patterns, the associated rules, the numerical sentences that make up the fact family and a pictorial representation of the Commutative Property of Multiplication. Below you will find examples of each of these pages. My Multiplication Book Using a Multiplication Table as a Visual Aid An effective way to manage the lessons is to introduce one Rule/Family each day. Using a large multiplication table can be a terrific visual aid. As you learn each fact family, cross them off on the multiplication table. That way, your students can actually see the progress they are making in learning the multiplication facts: Multiplication Table after the 1’s Family is studied Only 10 Problems Left! The last page of your Multiplication Book will include the 10 multiplication problems that are not covered by the fact family patterns studied: 3x3, 3x6, 3x7, 3x8, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 7x7, 7x8 & 8x8 (Remember…due to the Commutative Property of Multiplication, there are only 10 problems instead of 20.) This is how the multiplication table you are using for demonstration will look when you have completed teaching multiplication facts. (The circled problems are the 10 that must be learned through an alternative strategy). Multiplication Table at Completion Task Directions: After teaching the 2’s and 4’s pattern, have the students do the following task: 2’s Rule!- Have the students work in groups of two and supply them with the attached sheet called 2’s Rule! This is a game. The students will cut out the cards and place them face down in a pile. They will take turns flipping over a card 1 at a time. However, the first person to give the correct answer wins the card. The person with the most cards wins the game. Since the 2’s rule is double the number and add, some of the cards will simply have an even number. The students
