This is so much fun! We totally change from little kid stuff to big kid stuff just by this one word! Although, honestly, it's not really a big, new, change. We are going to introduce it through things we already know, like addition and sets. How is this going to look? It's going to be approached in a variety of ways; some of which your child will grab on, and some of which they will come to understand with practice. Repeated Addition is just taking what we already know and using to multiply. Arrays are using Rows times Columns to get to our answer. We call Rows times Columns, Royse City, to help us remember which is used when. Skip counting is used to reinforce that multiplication is just a version of skip counting. Another way is groups of equal numbers. We call these groups and numbers in groups. We use these a lot in our progression through learning, especially when we are in word problems. In case you are still looking for more, here's a good link to a detailed explanation! Need more help? Go through the search box at the top of the blog, there may be past resources on here that may give you more ideas!
Thanks, Mrs. Froehling
