. Rich Learning Experiences
In a Bridges classroom, students gather evidence, explain their results, and develop respect for others’ opinions. Teachers encourage students to employ multiple strategies when solving problems. They foster student initiative by providing opportunities to work in pairs, discuss in small groups, or share with the whole class. As a result, students develop positive math identities while building problem-solving skills, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
Unit 1 and 2: Multiplication Concepts
Students learn to represent multiplication problems using equal groups, arrays, and ratio tables
Students begin to graph data on scaled picture and bar graphs
Students begin learning the associative, commutative, and distributive properties of multiplication
Unit 3 and 4: Multiplication Concepts
Students learn how to answer and build 2-step problem situations
Unit 5 and 6: Multiplication and Division Concepts
Students begin to learn partitive and measurement division
Students begin to learn the relationship between multiplication and division
A proven pathway to fluency
