Unit 2: Multiplication and Division

This week we will continue our unit on multiplication and

division. Students will be learning that multiplication is

repeated addition. Students will learn that multiplication can

be represented as repeated addition, adding groups of

things, or in arrays. Students will also learn that

multiplication and division are inverse operations (they undo

each other) because they are in the same fact family.

We are already practicing for the 1st Math Challenge. The 1

Math Challenge will cover 90 multiplication facts. Students

must get 81 correct in 4 minutes. Please practice

multiplication facts each night!

Students will take our Unit 2B Math Test
