Multiplication

One way to do multiplication is skip counting. Another way is repeated addition. The last way is to do equal groups. There are two ways we haven't learned yet. By Natalie & Taylor  

Cup stacking!

Circles and stars

Circles and stars (or dots) is a multiplication game where you roll the dice whatever's the number you put that many circles and roll it again and put that number of stars in every circle then count how many stars there are. We noticed on this game that the numbers 6 & 3 flip flopped which is the commutative property. We also noticed that there are two ways to get 6. 6 x 1 and 2 x 3. It's great! You should play it.  by Hank

Stamps

We did math about stamps and we worked super hard. We learned that in different country's most stamps are different shapes and sizes. The more weight the package the more the more money the stamps cost. We used skip counting and multiplication and repeated addition to find out the cost of groups of stamps. It was so much fun.
