Mathematical Musings in Multiplication (also Alliteration)

My students are really impressing me with their mathematical know-how. We've worked our way through our 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 10s and today we worked on our 7s. I plan on putting a video of how to work our 7s on here tomorrow, but today I thought I'd share how we do our math.

1. Get comfortable...
2. Get ready...
3. GO!

I'm proud to report that 90% of my students made a 100 on their work. (reviewing 2s, 3s, and 4s)

Working on 7s today, I told my students that I don't have a special song or trick, so they'll just have to work on memorization. We made x7 index cards for students to take home and study. Students who come back knowing their 7s get to be featured on the blog tomorrow!

In language arts, we are working on figurative language. We have studied similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, and now alliteration.
I love using alliteration! It just helps things flow off the tongue.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

We watched a short video about a girl whose name is all alliteration: Sara Cynthia Sylvia Stout!It was important that my students understood that the letters didn't have to be the same, just the letter sound.

In fact, today we had a Thrilling Thursday and tomorrow we will celebrate Fun Friday! Then we will have a Super Saturday and a Soulful Sunday in preparation for a Marvelous Monday!

Can't wait to see what we can come up with tomorrow!

p.s. Did you notice the # of our followers? Yesterday we had 39, today it's 52!!! Time for a party!!
