b. Is it a division problem that asks me to find out how many are in each
equal group or how many equal units belong in each group?
- How many equal rows
- How many equal groups
- How many will each _______ get

2) Solve a multiplication problem and division problem by using at least 2

strategies.

a. Multiplication

- Distributive Property= Breaking numbers apart by place value

-Doubles array
-Partial Products
-Keep one number whole while breaking the other apart
- Conventional Algorithm
- Visual Grouping

b. Division

- Distributive Property= Breaking numbers apart by place value

-Keep one number whole while breaking the other apart
- Partial Quotients
- Reverse division by using multiplication (multiplying up)
- Skip counting by multiples
- **Conventional Algorithm (NOT a Core Standard until 6th grade)

3) Write clear and concise notations (number models and equations).

4) Solve equivalent equations with a missing number
5) Write clear and concise explanations, with:
a. Complete sentences
b. Capitals and punctuation
c. Clear examples or strategies that explain how I got my answer and
know its correct
6) Know my division and multiplication fast facts from 1x 1= 1 and 1 1=1
to 12 x 12= 144 and 144 12= 12.
