Help your students understand how to partition to solve simple multiplication problems. This resource is perfect for students who are struggling to understand how partitioning can help them solve simple multiplication problems.
With Our Partition Pirate and Penguin, students can pretend to ‘chop’ and ‘break apart’ arrays. They will begin to ‘see’ the distributive property of multiplication and understand how to make solving multiplication problems a breeze!
Multiply and divide by one-digit numbers using repeated addition, equal grouping, arrays, and partitioning to support a variety of calculation strategies
