Equal Groups Multiplication Strategy Worksheets Task Cards Poster By c. elkins, ok math and reading lady. thanks for checking in on another multiplication strategy! the focus for this post will be on the equal groups strategy — looking at how students can efficiently use this strategy to help learn basic multiplication facts. my angle will be at the conceptual level by using concrete and pictorial methods. Multiplication using the equal groups strategy means having to place a certain number of objects into a certain number of groups. the factors are the numbers that determine how many groups to make and how many items to put in each group. that means that the amount of items inside one group is always equal to the amount of items inside other.
How To Teach Multiplication Strategies With Engaging Activities If a group contains the same number of items as all the other groups, it is considered to be equal. the multiplication sign, ×, denotes multiplication, which signifies “equal groupings of.”. for example, 3 × 3 can be read as 3 equal groups of 3. for another example, 5 × 5 can be read as 5 equal groups of 5. Back to the strategy library. understanding equal groups is foundational to understanding multiplication and division. this set of equal groups multiplication and division tasks allows students to explore equal groups and the language around equal groups so that they will be successful moving into the new operations of multiplication and division. Multiplication means ‘equal groups of’ and is written with a multiplication sign: ‘×’. for example: 4 × 4 can be read as ‘4 equal groups of’ 4. the amount of groups multiplied by the number of counters in each group form our total. here we have 16 counters and we will group together counters that form the number 16. This video helps you understand how to use multiplication strategies. grade 3. lessons 3.1, 3.2, and 3.5#multiplication #arrays #multiply.

The first strategy for teaching multiplication is with equal groups. after all, multiplication is the grouping of equal numbers of objects to more efficiently find a total. students must practice forming, identifying, and counting equal groups. the student’s desktops become whiteboards in my class. for example, a student gets 12 tiles. This resource is the first section of a 4 part resource supporting multiplicative thinking. • part 1: strategies for sharing and forming equal groups. • part 2: flexible strategies with single digit numbers. • part 3: flexible strategies with multi digit numbers. • part 4: flexible strategies with rational numbers.
