Multiplication Strategies Parent Guide for 5th Grade

“Can you update this document to include directions and examples for parents to have at home with them since this is hw”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Send this home as a companion to multiplication homework so families can see the strategies your class is using in the Bridges Grade 5 curriculum.
- Discussion question for families: "How would you solve 4 × 18 another way, and does breaking it into doubles make sense to you?"
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have the student underline each step in parentheses first, then say aloud what the parentheses are telling them to do before the parent works through the example.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to create their own expression with parentheses for a multiplication fact not listed in the guide and explain the steps to a parent.
- Estimated time: about 20-30 minutes for a student and parent to read through and complete the examples together.
