This lesson builds strategies for learning fundamental multiplication facts using story-problem contexts. One computation tool that can be used is a number line. Students are encouraged to use a variety of methods to represent and discuss their solutions. Students are going to:
- show off techniques like repeated addition or skip counting.
- keep track of the number of sentences to demonstrate their work.
- sketch illustrations of their ideas.
- make use of counting techniques, both forward and backward.
