Area models are building blocks to more complicated multiplication and division. Use this lesson to refresh students on the relationship between multiplication and area to prepare them to use the area models strategy with larger numbers.

Challenge students' understanding of multiplying fractions by whole numbers to help them form opinions about rules regarding scaling. Use this lesson on its own or as support for the lesson Multiplication as Scaling.

Teach your students to use tape diagrams to solve equations involving whole numbers and fractions.

Refresh students on the relationship between division, multiplication, and place value! They'll use the partial quotients method to solve division problems and discuss the process.

Why make things harder on ourselves? Teach your students to decompose numbers to make math easier! Use this as a stand alone lesson or a pre-lesson for Decompose to Multiply: 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Making mistakes helps us learn! Your students will flex their analytical muscles to pinpoint errors in multiplication problems using arrays. Use the lesson on its own or as support to Base Ten Arrays for Multi-Digit Multiplication.

Use this lesson to teach your students how people survived in the New England colonies when they were first created.

Let's better understand multiplication and division concepts! Use this lesson to help students understand inverse operations between multiplication and division.

Students will use the inverse relationship between multiplication and division to complete an area formula in a real-world situation. Use this lesson on its own or as support for the lesson The Case of the Missing Rectangle Side.

Teach your students to recognize and use the distributive property of multiplication.

Let's talk about the distributive property! Give students a chance to explain their thinking of how and why this property of multiplication works. This lesson may be taught as a standalone or as support to the lesson Distributive Property.

Teach your students to use partial products as a strategy to multiply multi-digit numbers.

Teach your students how repeated addition relates to multiplication. This lesson builds number sense and supports a conceptual understanding of multiplication.

Facilitate an exploration and comparison of multiplication strategies for your students to see the variety of ways to solve the same problem. Use this lesson on its own or teach it prior to the lesson Multiplication: Musical Chairs.

Challenge students to use their understanding of standard algorithm division to list multiples while solving division problems. Focus on their language use and opinions in this pre-lesson to the Partial Quotients Method lesson.

Teach your students to predict and explain features of scaled regular shapes.
