After students finish, compare their reasoning with the included answer key. When an answer is incorrect, have the student locate the first step where their work changed direction before trying the problem again.
Who this practice is for
This resource is designed for grades 2-5 students working on elementary math. Teachers, tutors, homeschool families, and parents can preview the first page before deciding whether the level and spacing fit the student.
Multiplication represents equal groups. A fact such as 7 × 6 can mean seven groups of six, and arrays make the commutative relationship between 7 × 6 and 6 × 7 visible.
Use known facts—ones, twos, fives, tens, squares, and doubles—to derive harder facts instead of memorizing each one in isolation.
