Click on the above link use the code vahfyx to access the DESMOS activity. It is a virtual card sort (of most) of the Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics that relate to multiplication and division. Move the standards cards around and link them to the grade level card in which you think it is taught. It will give you feedback about the number of correct matches as you work.

Fluency in Multiplication & Division
Fluency in Multiplication & Division
The progression of multiplication results in students being fluent. If we begin with the end in mind, maybe we could start by developing a deeper understanding of fluency.
What does it mean to be fluent according to the Kentucky Academic Standards? Watch the video below to find out!

Jo Boaler at Stanford University is a leading researcher in mathematics education. Visit the website www.youcubed.org to see many of her resources. In particular, the page Fluency Without Fear delineates ways to teach and learn math facts.
Visit the Fluency Without Fear webpage and read through the article.
Consider how you might incorporate some of her suggestions and activities into your math class.
Explore the Tasks on www.youcubed.org and select a few that you could use with students to develop fluency in the area of multiplication and division.

How do we support our students in becoming fluent in math?
How do we support our students in becoming fluent in math?
The answer is more complex than just looking at a few tasks; however, if we know that fluency is about more than just passing a timed test, we can begin by looking at ways to improve fluency practice.
Take a look at the resources below.
THINKING ROUTINE: Number Talks
THINKING ROUTINE: Number Talks
A Number Talk (NT) is a thinking routine or a number routine that increases mental computation, computation strategies, and fluency. Routines are intended to occur routinely (about 4-5 times per week) for 5-15 minutes per day.
If you would like to try a Number Talk in your classroom, use the resources below.
How to Implement a Number Talk
Tips for Implementing Number Talks PLUS Virtual Learning Considerations
Click above to view a 3rd grade Number Talk on multiplication , followed by teacher dialogue about the lesson. This and other video lessons can be found by visiting the Inside Mathematics website, which is part of the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
As you watch, make note of how students answered the questions:
How many?
How did you see it?
How might you begin to incorporate Number Talks into your classroom?
If you are already using Number Talks, how might you enhance them to develop all 4 aspects of mathematical fluency?
