What Are We Learning??
In this unit we are learning to understand the relationships between the values of digits in different places and use that knowledge to compare and round numbers.

Fun Ways to Practice Multiplication at Home Without Screentime
Where to Start
· Start by teaching the zeros and ones facts. These facts are easy to learn because they follow specific rules.
· DO NOT move to a different fact family without first mastering the previous one.
Flashcards
· Create your own. Students write the multiplication question on the front of the card and the answer in number and picture format on the back. Example, students write 4x7= (front of card) and write 28 and 4 sets of 7 on the back of the card. The picture representation allows the student to understand how 28 becomes the answer. Multiplication is simply repeated addition.
· The dollar store almost always has multiplication flashcards.
For Active Kids
· Have your child bounce a basketball or catch a ball as he or she says the multiples of different numbers. For example, he can practice the multiples of 9 for each bounce 9, 18, 27, 36. Then he can say them backward: 81, 72, 63, 54. Research shows that kinesthetic movement helps the brain learn facts.
Games
· This game is played with two people. They put both hands behind their backs and on their count, shoot out a number. Each player multiplies his or her number times the other player’s number, and keep score.
· Multiplication War: Deal a deck of cards between two people. Each person flips the top card of his/her deck onto the table at the same time. The first person to call out the product of the two numbers on the cards gets to keep the cards. (Ace=1, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=0)
· Roll the Dice: This game can be played with one person or two. Roll two dice. Multiply the two numbers showing face up. Write the digits 7-12 on squares of masking tape and stick to the dice to practice your 7-12 facts.
Domino Game - For 2-4 players. Turn a set of dominoes face down. Each person draws one domino and multiplies the 2 sides together. The person with the highest number gets to keep all the dominoes. If there is a tie, draw again. Keep going until all the dominoes have been drawn! The winner is the person with the most dominoes.
Multiplication Memory Match - Make a memory game using index cards or construction paper. Cut small squares from the paper (laminate if you'd like) and write factors on half the cards (ex: 4 x 5) and products on the other half (ex: 20). You can do all the multiples of one number, or mix it up for review! Put all the cards face down and have partners play the game by turning two cards over to try and make a match.
