2nd Grade Math: Multiplication

In 2nd Grade, students work to build a conceptual foundation for multiplication, which will prepare them for applying these skills in 3rd grade. Making equal group, drawing arrays, and using number lines are taught in this unit. With hands-on and engaging activities, students will set the stage for multiplication and division.

In this math unit on Multiplication, students will learn to:

* Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in a rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns.

* Write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

For each page, there is a grade level standard attached so you know EXACTLY what you are covering! You can feel confident that ALL the standards for Second Grade are being covered!

HOW DO I ORGANIZE THE UNITS?

I chose to store the math centers in Sterilite bins, sinc they don’t take up too much space. It is a tight fit, but I find that they work nicely for me.  However, if you choose, you could store the centers in a larger container as well. Within the bin, each math center is stored in a gallon sized ziplock baggie.
