Multiplication Cards Computation and Estimation Concept The student will multiply whole numbers; solve single step and multistep multiplication problems with whole numbers. Materials needed Each student will need: ! 1 deck of playing cards o Ace’s labeled 1 o Jack’s labeled 10 o Queen’s labeled 11 o King’s labeled 0 ! Work it Out page ! Whiteboard ! Dry erase marker ! Calculator Directions
1. Shuffle cards and make one stack, face down. 2. Flip over one card and place it face up in the top spot of the Work it Out page. 3. Flip over another card and place it on the bottom spot of the Work it Out page. 4. Multiply the numbers, use Work it Out page to show work. 5. Write the product of the two factors on the Work it Out page. 6. Check work with the calculator–if correct, move on to next problem, If incorrect circle the problem, write the correct answer, and then move on (teacher can use this to determine who needs additional support). 7. Place used cards in a discard pile. 8. Start over with step two. Differentiate For more advanced students, use 2 x 2 & 3 x 2 multiplication. For struggling students, limit cards to lower numbers or make it an addition game.

The Sincerest Form of FlatteryAllison BehneIssue #559
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
—Charles Caleb Colton  I absolutely love this picture. It’s of my uncle Jim, a high school girls’ basketball coach, and his granddaughter Georgia. This particular night was Georgia’s fourth birthday, and as honorary team captain, she got to help her “papa” coach. She took this very seriously, watching and copying his every move. When he sat, she sat. When he yelled, she yelled. She intently looked to him for cues about what to do next. It was heartwarming to see her following his example, wanting to be just like him.
A great model can have a tremendous influence on behavior. The same is true in our classrooms.
Modeling provides an example that learners need to be successful. When a behavior, skill, strategy, or concept make sense logically and visually, the learner can more easily enter in and apply the new learning. We see it in how Georgia copycats her papa, and we can use it across all disciplines in our classrooms. Explicit instruction followed by deliberate modeling lays the groundwork for student practice and success. When we are deliberate in our visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modeling with students, we explicitly teach and engage them in a new idea or behavior. We aren’t looking for imitation as a form of flattery, but we are hoping to ignite a lifelong love of learning, persistence, and hard work.
