(small group instruction on this topic should occur at least 6 weeks after Tier 1 instruction)
B2.1 use the properties of operations, and the relationships between multiplication and division, to solve problems and check calculations
B2.2 recall and demonstrate multiplication facts of 2, 5, and 10, and related division facts
B2.6 represent multiplication of numbers up to 10 × 10 and division up to 100 ÷ 10, using a variety of tools and drawings, including arrays
B2.7 represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division, including problems that involve groups of one half, one fourth, and one third, using tools and drawings
Encourage students to use what they know to figure out what they do not yet know. For example, If they know that two 2s is 4 then four 2s would be double 4.
Similarly encourage students to use tools like arrays and number lines to work through their answers and prove their thinking.
Embed the language of doubling and halfing where ever posible to number reslaionships and fractional understanding
