Multiplication Methods and Food Chains

Announcements:

• Bring your 2L pop bottles (rinse first) ASAP!!
• Orange Shirt Day tomorrow - please wear an orange shirt to recognize survivors of residential schools

Math:

36 x 21 = ?

We learned three methods for multiplying today including long (the more traditional method), lattice, and box multiplication. Another student suggested the lines and dots method.

Students are encouraged to choose the method(s) that make the most sense to them.

We also continue to practice word problem solving and students can go to IXL or Khan Academy for additional practice.

Question of the day: use one of the methods in the pictures above to solve 37x56=?

Science:

We played the food chain game on computers and drew two four organism food chains in different habitats, such as the ocean and the desert. We watched the remainder of the food chains crash course.
