Common Core Aligned Multiplication Lapbook (Giveaway)
We started our unit on multiplication last week. Having started the year by completing almost 2 weeks of reviewing multiplication facts, I thought this would be a breeze.
However, after spending every waking moment reading over the stinkin’ lovely Common Core standards, I realized that just knowing the facts weren’t enough.
Honestly, I knew that. Really I did. But, I figured 4th graders came to me knowing how multiplication works.
Um, wrong.
So, I created this lapbook to help us understand multiplication.
Common Core Mumbo Jumbo to follow…scroll down if bored.

I’m having my students create the foldables in their notebooks, though, instead of creating the lapbook. Also included are some options if you are short on copies (like me).
I’m also working on some task cards for 4.OA.1~Interpreting a multiplication equation as a comparison. I’m going to use those in my math tubs next week.
Here’s how you can win:
