Description
Support your 3rd grade students in understanding multiplication patterns and patterns in multiplication facts. This set of 5 intervention lessons, along with assessment and independent practice activities, will put your students well on their way to multiplication fact fluency.
If our students are to individually learn each multiplication fact, they will need to memorize 100 individual facts! Rather than memorizing individual facts, this unit can help you to better support your students by teaching them to recognize patterns and relationships in facts.
Understanding that multiplying by 0 will always result in a product of zero, for example, takes care of 19 of those 100 facts that our students need to know from memory! This unit provides pattern explorations for multiplying by 0, 1, 2, 5, 10 and square numbers so that your students can understand and develop fluency with these multiplication facts.
This intervention resource is designed to support you with everything you will need in order to intervene for struggling learners who have not yet developed an understanding of arrays in the whole group setting with their peers.
Included you will find:
✎ Overview and Organization
The 5 Day Focus resources are designed to be informative and easy to use. I have included an overview of the related standards, an outline organizing the breakdown of how the topic is taught, a table of contents and a page outlining any and all materials that will be needed. I want you to be able to spend your time and energy on looking at your students’ results and reflecting on their learning- NOT on organizing materials and trying to figure out how to use this resource!
✎ Assessment
Pre and Post Assessment Materials that mirror one another will allow you to see where your students began and how far they have progressed. I have also included daily exit tickets and a tracking form so that you can easily monitor each of your students.
✎ Direct Instruction
Instructional lesson activities to use with small groups or individual students. Each of these lessons is detailed and includes hands-on activities. There is gradual release across the 5 days beginning with more concrete models and moving away towards representative and, finally, abstract models. This research-based progression will surely help your students to progress.
✎ Independent Centers
Each of the 5 lessons also includes an independent practice activity. The independent activities have been created in the style of math centers so that they can be used directly after the instructional lesson but so they can also be used and re-used as students practice their skills.
And remember, follow my store so you will be updated when new resources are added! I list many products on sale for the first 24 hours!
