Repeated Addition

This week we started working on multiplication. Students learned repeated addition yesterday and today, we worked on an array model.
A Multiplication Array is simply a number of symbols ordered in neat rows and columns.

When offering your children these arrays, simply speak to them about what is going on in theme. Also ask them to think of the multiplication symbol having the meaning of "rows of". This way, when your child thinks of 3 x 5, they will think of 3 rows of 5.

This method does go hand in hand with the 'grouping' method of teaching multiplication. These two methods are similar, yet different.

Here is a full set of multiplication array problems for you to offer your child.












Thank You for all your support!

Back to school Jitters!

Well today is Friday, August 21, 2009. School starts in just a few days. I am thrilled to meet everyone. This is going to be a very exciting school year. I have met a few parents, that has been fun.

Well summer is just flying by! Soon we will be headed back to school.
On this blog I will post: spelling word for the week (Mondays) I will also post any thing happening in the classroom. This will be a place to keep track of up coming events in the 3rd grade.

Introduction

I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand.
-- Chinese Proverb

I would like to take a minute to introduce myself:
First of all I grew up in Minnesota. I moved to Idaho to attend Rick's College in 2000. After completing my associates degree I transferred to SUU in Cedar City, UT. Then I moved back to Rexburg, Idaho where I married my husband . Tyler and I were married in October of 2003. I have one daughter Abigail who was born on Dec. 25, 2005. She is so sweet, I just love her so much.
Tyler and I both graduated in 2008. We then decided that we would move to Sandy, Utah to be closer to family. We are happy to be in the Salt Lake Valley.
I have worked in the schools since 2002. I absolutely LOVE working in the classroom. It is very exciting to see the light turn on as you are teaching. Thanks for the support that you give your children at home and at school.
I feel privileged to teach your students. Please know that my classroom is always open, and I am willing to listen if you have an issue with something.
~Mrs. Steiner
