Math
Today we learned two more multiplication strategies. For the first, you use a known multiplication fact to get the fact above or below. For example:

If you know 7 x 7 = 49 then 7 x 8 = 49 + 7 = 56
In the first fact you have 7 groups of 7, in the second you have 8 groups of 7 so you just add one more group of 7.

The second strategy is the half / double strategy.

If you have 18 x 4 the product is the same as 9 x 8 = 72
9 is half of 18 and 8 is double 4

Try these:
24 x 6
22 x 6
16  x 4

Please make sure your homework is checked and signed by a parent. Make any corrections. If you are having difficulty understanding your mistakes, come see me at a lunch recess.
