Sun clipart from: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Little-Bunnies-Designs Scratch interactive multiplication chart created by Natalie Keizer and hosted at: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/822021328 Video created by Natalie Keizer using VideoScribe. This activity is the second activity in the Magnificant Multiplication Collection. Links to the additional activities can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/magnificient-multiplication/math/seesaw-activity-links?authuser=0 In this activity, students watch a video on how to use a modified multiplication chart (up to 5 X 5). This modified multiplication chart was chosen to allow students to become proficient before moving on to a larger multiplication chart. Students then explore an interactive multiplication chart at https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/822021328 and answer questions based on what they notice. The concept of arrays is introduced as the corresponding array is shown as students move the cursor over the multiplication chart. This activity concludes with students building corresponding arrays on side-by-side multiplication charts and exploring the commutative property of multiplication questions (2 X 3 and 3 X 2).
