For math-mania today, we cycled through a series of stations with a focus on our new learning with fractions and our previous unit focused on multiplication. The highlight of the day was seeing how students were able to show so many strategies for solving multiplication problems. Partitioned rectangles, partial products, and the lattice method were all featured on Seesaw posts today.

Lattice Method
Alert: This is a GREAT video explaining WHY lattice works. What connections can you see to the PARTitioned rectangle?
