Warm Up: Multiplication War (with playing cards)
This game could be played by students on their own to practise or with someone in their family.
Flip over two playing cards. Multiply the two cards together. If practising on their own first, students could make the equation on their Multiplication Chart to find the correct answer. If playing with a partner, the Multiplication Chart could be used to confirm answers to be correct.
Mild- cards 1-5
Spicy- cards 1-6 and 10
Hot- include all cards, even Jacks-11, Queens 12 and Kings 13
Activity: Understanding Arrays
Last week students spent time making arrays. This time students will see what they can read from an array and change it to groups of and repeated addition.
Look at the arrays below. Students could recreate these using counters, Lego blocks, blobs of play dough, pebbles or anything that works. Or click on this link to a printable page if preferred.
What does the array show you? Can you make the array into groups and write the repeated addition equation for it? (make sure you have watched the teaching video for a demonstration.
