Unit 4: The Multiplication Algorithm Activity 5: Turn the Table (GLEs: 11, 13, 16)
CC: Put students into cooperative groups of three students. Give each group a selection of multiplication statements that include 2-digit by 1-digit, 3-digit by 1-digit, and 2-digit by 2-digit problems. Use some problems that lend themselves to mental math techniques, some to the use of a calculator, and some to paper and pencil. Have student groups create story problems that can be solved by the given multiplication problems. Once the stories are created, have groups exchange their work with other groups and solve the story problems. Solutions should contain the multiplication sentence and the computation technique used. That is, students will indicate whether they used mental math, calculators, or paper and pencil to do the computations. Discuss the computation methods used.
