IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

During math workshop this week, we have been studying multiplication! Students have excelled with working through these more difficult mathematical concepts in their journals and with whole group experiences. We learned a new math game that helps strengthen these multiplication skills called fill it up and I think it is our new class favorite! Each child has a partner, aboard, counters, and a die to work with. They role the die and depending on their game board, make groups of 1,2, or 3 that correspond to the number they rolled. Then, they count out the total number and find that number spot on the board. They use a marker to cover that spot. The goal is to cover the most numbers they can! Students worked hard to solve each equation and had wonderful conversations with their partner about the problems along the way!
