Touch Math Multiplication

Now that we have delved into the wonderful world of multiplication, I am introducing the class to a variety of problem solving strategies.

1. Skip counting using the touch points from their Touch Math charts. 

2. Repeated addition

3. Counting up

4. Or if all else fails, they can put manipulatives into groups (This is how most of us were taught, it's not a bad method, but it is not efficient and does't help build number sense) 

In this video, Davis solves 2x7 using the Touch Math method.
