Multiplication isn’t a new topic for our blog - we’ve talked about our multiplication journals and lots of games like Multiplication Bump! or Multiplication Speed! But, today, we’re going to rewind to the very beginning - how to introduce multiplication!
To really introduce multiplication correctly, I think it's important to add the K (kinesthetic) to the CPA or Concrete, Pictorial, and Abstract. Today, I want to show you how to do that at the beginning of your multiplication unit as students are just starting to learn the concept.
