This session covers key multiplication concepts for 3rd grade, focusing on strategies to multiply one-digit numbers by multiples of 10 and understanding the properties of multiplication (such as the associative, commutative, and distributive properties). Teachers will learn methods for helping students use multiplication to solve word problems and recognize patterns in multiplication. The session will also include practical activities and visual aids to ensure students develop fluency and confidence in multiplication. A key focus will be on modeling and reasoning through multiplication problems, allowing students to explore different approaches and articulate their thinking process.
