Multiplication

Understanding of multiplication facts is essential to have down by fourth grade. Knowing the times tables and being able to fluently recall immediately is needed throughout the entire year because of PA Mathematics Standards beginning with multiplication of multidigit numbers. There were students in my fourth grade classroom that had yet to be fluent with their multiplication facts, and it was necessary for them to have it down, for everyday mathematics and for the PSSA’s. I discussed with my mentor teacher which students would benefit most from remediation and reviewing the multiplication facts again. I selected five students based on their standings of Rocket Math, a one minute assessment to see how many multiplication facts they can solve…

The four essential operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and their interaction are primary concepts to be taught at the knowledge level of primary schooling. Getting those four concepts and their interaction allows learners to create their knowledge for numbers and as well as connecting them with everyday life problems. Multiplication and division are presented for the first time in our primary schools from Infant II. According to our National Curriculum, Infant II…

fractions. These areas are cleared up in the lesson by identifying common areas to pay attention to (eMath Instructional Inc., 2016). The fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth lessons introduce the skills needed to master equivalent expressions and seeing structure in expressions. In this lesson, each one of the four previous lesson skills is drawn upon. Whether it is manipulating numbers by using the number properties to working with variables, anything can be expected. The structure of writing…

students preparing to take their General Education Degree Exam. On the first day, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and introduced to my only coworker, who was trying to teach over 20 students. Shocked by the lack of tutors, I wanted to help as many students as possible, so I knew I would need to take a different approach than my coworker. While he would give great lectures, I decided a more individualized approach would help me identify my students’ abilities and strengthen their…

ABSTRACT: Multiplications and Accumulations find tremendous applications in the domain of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). On contrast to this, currently there is an immense requirement of hardware dedicated to serve the purpose of speed enhancement. Reversible circuits are being deployed on a large scale to design the Multiply Accumulate units with the advent of quantum computing. In this paper, we present a real time development model of a 4 x 4 Multiply Accumulate unit by exploiting…

Students will be able to: • Apply the Associative property of multiplication to multiply. Psychomotor-Students will be able to: • Write the order of operation before applying the associative property to multiply. Affective-Students will be able to: • worked collaboratively and give each other help when needed. Academic Vocabulary: Associative property-- “When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors” (Banfill, 2009). Prior…

To introduce the concept of order of operations to the students I would first write PEMDAS on the board which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. I would put brackets around M and D, and A and S, to show that they are grouped together in the order of operations. “One misconception by students is that all multiplication should happen before all division because the multiplication comes before division in the acronym. In fact, multiplication and…

The student was able to read, apply the information from the word problem to an equation. She was also able to label some of the parts of the equation. She said the numbers being multiplied are the factors and the sum was the answer instead of saying that the answer was a product. Jigglypuff was able to clearly explain her thought process behind solving the multiplication problem but she incorrectly solved the problem. She said she used an array to help her solve the problem, which explained to…

In the article, The Role of Definition, the author discusses how a mere definition can affect the way a student will interpret information. A definition can contain concepts that are difficult to understand and will hamper a student’s ability to learn. As math in the classroom progresses, The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommends that the students create their own definitions of for mathematical terminology with the modification from a teacher. This is done to get the student to…

allowing in many of us - especially our youth - the inability to use one’s rational judgement in our way of thinking (not to mention one’s own common sense) due to our irrational way of not freely exercising a ‘think-outside-the-box’ attitude - literally speaking. a. students should be encouraged to think freely for themselves rather than be allowed electronic devises in the classroom to do any sort of thinking for them – excluding, of course, those students with special needs and who actually…
