Today we began 2- digit multiplication! The students were excited to learn this skill. I showed the students different ways to solve this type of problem. The first way is a traditional method. (The way I learned in school). The other way is a called lattice multiplication. At first it looks intimidating, but sometimes this way is easier for the students to solve. After practicing both methods several times I let the students decide which way they would like to solve their problems. Take a look!
Other details:
- No Friday homework this week! Happy Thanksgiving!
- We do not have school on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Enjoy the long weekend!
- Spelling tests will be Monday and Tuesday for the Green and Yellow groups. The lists are in the binder for students to study.
