Equal groups

WOW!  Tuesday's are long days.  I don't know about you but we seem to struggle on Tuesdays to attain to task. Perhaps the weather is changing.  Or maybe there is about to be a full moon.  Could be that we weren't holding our tongues just right today.  Many plausible reasons.

In grade 3 we are responsible for knowing that multiplication is repeated addition that can be expressed as equal groups or arrays.  We have to be able to draw multiplication and write about it.  We are also responsible for recalling the multiplication facts to 5x5.  Again today we brainstormed from our schemas experiences we have had that can be described as multiplication - so things that come in groups. Legs on a chair.  Sides of a die.  triplets.  Days in a week.  To solidify equal groupings.

Ask your student about the story they wrote this morning about a pig.  First we drew Piggie from a Mo Willems how to draw video then we brainstormed vocabulary for stories with page in them then we wrote our own stories.

Return swim forms please.
Return white report card folders.
