Multiplication is the Name of the Game!

I'm looking forward to using this resource with my class to assess their understanding of multiplication.  It is available at my store on Teachers Pay Teachers. We have been learning the vocabulary associated with multiplication.  We have used Marilyn Burns' lessons on Circles and Stars and Amanda Bean's Amazing Dream.  We have been using manipulatives to create arrays and have been writing fact families.  We have talked about equal groups repeatedly.  We have connected multiplying with adding and are showing the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication sentences.  I think they will be ready to show their understanding of multiplication by the end of next week.  Then comes the hard part of learning the facts!!! More on that later and our ice cream sundae incentive!
