A student worksheet for the first lesson where they use physical square tiles to cover rectangles of varying sizes to build the concept of area as "covering space". Updated to ensure shapes have distinct proportions.
Student worksheet for Lesson 5 (Double Up). Includes a doubling accelerator chart for 2s and 4s, a challenge on halving facts, and a real-world word problem about tires in a parking lot using the double-double strategy.
Lesson 5 slides on 'Double Up' strategy for 2s and 4s. Teaches the 'double-double' method through visual patterns and mental math routines. Includes a step-by-step breakdown of multiplying by 4.
Student worksheet for Lesson 4 (Family Ties). Features fact family houses to complete, a 'Think Multiplication' strategy section for solving division, and an area for students to draw their own array and generate a corresponding fact family.
Lesson 4 slides on Fact Families and Inverse Operations. Uses 'The Missing Piece' warm-up and a 'Fact Family House' visual to connect multiplication and division. Includes conceptual explanations of how multiplication helps with division.
Student worksheet for Lesson 3 (Reverse Engineering). Practice partitioning items into jars and grouping items to find the number of racks. Connects multiplication facts to division problems in the investigator's notes.
Lesson 3 slides introducing division as the inverse of multiplication. Explains partitioning versus grouping and introduces formal division notation using a 'Reverse Engineering' theme.
Student worksheet for Lesson 2 (Array Architecture). Focuses on labeling rows and columns, drafting arrays from expressions, and solving a 'Brick Wall' array word problem.
Lesson 2 slides on Array Architecture. Introduces rows and columns using 'Which One Doesn't Belong?', anatomy of an array diagrams, and real-world array connections.
