About the Mathematics in Unit 1
Our class is starting a new mathematics unit about multiplication. In this unit, students review multiplication facts and solve problems by using arrays, such as the examples below. They also solve problems about factors of a number and number relationships, such as this one: If 25 is a factor of 100, will 25 also be a factor of 300? How do you know? Students are introduced to multiplicative comparison problems.
