Identify multiplication patterns in a real-world setting.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use manipulatives to demonstrate patterns in addition (e.g., add 3 rule) as it relates to real-world settings (e.g., distributing papers, snacks, etc. to groups).
- Given a template, build an array to model a multiplication problem. (Create deliberate multiplicative pairs, e.g., 3 × 2 and 2 × 3 to demonstrate the pattern E.g., Use students to create 3 groups of 2 students and 2 groups of 3 students. Explicitly share the pattern between the two expressions with students.)
- Recognize patterns and use words to describe the patterns they see in a multiplication table.
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: growing pattern, multiplication, increasing/increases.

Cluster:
Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic. (Major Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
