This week we will have some review from the week before break. We will spend the first day back waking up our brains and remember what we were learning before break. Many of topics will be wrapping up the next week or so as the 2nd quarter ends on Friday, January 10.
Math: Continue with our exploration of ways we can multiply 2 digit by 2 digit numbers.
Strategies we have used thus far:
1.) Grid or box method. The students learned out to break a number down into the value of each digit and multiply using a window frame graphic organizer. We teach this method because it teaches the student to use the full value of each digit. It you would like to see a video explaining this method, please click HERE
2.) Lattice method. It you would like to see a video explaining this method, please click HERE
3. Traditional Algorithm
