Single-Digit Beginning Multiplication with Equal Groups, Arrays & Skip Counting

This Beginning Multiplication workbook walks students through the basic concepts of single-digit multiplication including equal groups, arrays, repeated addition, and skip counting.

In this resource you'll find an example IEP goal, step-by-step math lessons, word problems, reviews and assessments. This evidence-based math intervention is tied to 3rd grade standards and is great for special education math goals and small group math interventions (RTI).

Step-by-Step Math to Mastery™ resources:

✰ Make math easier to understand.

• Help students over math hurdles with clear, sequential, scaffolded lessons.
• Prevent overwhelm. Build student confidence.

✰ Make math easier to teach.

• Save hours of planning and piecing together materials.
• Paraeducators can deliver quality instruction independently. Open & teach.

This is not just a collection of worksheets. These lessons thoroughly and sequentially cover the progression from equal groups and basic concepts of multiplication to solving problems with factors to 10.

Part 1 of this workbook introduces the concepts of multiplication and visualizing equal groups.  It includes the use of repeated addition, arrays, grid area, skip counting, the commutative property, and the difference between addition and multiplication. 

Part 2 addresses using skip counting to solve multiplication problems.  It includes the vocabulary often used in word problems to signal multiplication. Lessons are sequenced to progress from the easiest patterns (counting by 2’s and 5’s) to the most difficult, so that by the time they get to 7’s and 8’s they only have a few new facts to learn.  Related facts are introduced together.

Included:

★ 37 Lessons on the Concepts of Multiplication

★ 57 Lessons on Multiplying Factors to 10

★ 8 Lessons on Word Problems (with over 96 story problems)

★ 9 Reviews

★ 9 Quizzes

Please download the preview for more details.

✎ Each lesson is presented in model, guided practice, independent practice format.

✎ Step-by-step task analysis is embedded in each sheet.

✎ No prep required.

Students will be able to:

• Use multiplication to represent equal groups, repeated addition, arrays, and grid area.

• Write related multiplication facts to show the commutative property

• Know when to add vs. when to multiply

• Use a times table chart

• Multiply factors to 10 using the skip counting strategy

Note: This product does NOT include detailed scripted lesson plans—only the short and simple lessons as shown in the preview. Please look at the preview carefully and ask me any questions you have before you buy.

Middle School and High School Special Education Math Teachers:

This now includes a version with no decorative clip art at the top of pages or on the student booklet cover. Everything else is exactly the same, but you won’t need to worry about whether the clip art might be too young for your students.
