Multiplication in Progress

Wow!!!! Look at our lists NOW! They are almost FULL! Thanks for your help last night. Our 11's are still a little weak, but we can continue to try to think of some.



We took these groups and created math stories today. We wrote word sentences, addition sentences, and multiplication sentences.


This was my example for the class.


Erin's math story: There are 3 meals a day. I ate 3 meals for 6 days. I had 18 meals in all. 3+3+3+3+3+3=18. 3x6=18


Abby's math story: There are 8 hot dogs in a package. I have 2 packages. There are 16 hot dogs in all. 8+8=16. 8x2=16.


Meah's math story: There are 3 lights on a traffic light. I have 4 traffic lights. There are 12 lights in all. 3+3+3+3=12. 3x4=12.


Caroline's math story: A dog has 4 legs. I took 4 dogs on a walk. There were 16 legs in all. 4+4+4+4=16. 4x4=16.


Jamison's math story: A starfish has 5 arms. I saw 3 starfish. There were 15 arms in all. 5+5+5=15. 5x3=15.


Abby's math story: A traffic light has 3 lights. I saw 3 traffic lights. There were 9 lights in all. 3+3+3=9. 3x3=9.
