Math

Students are using measuring strips to see the pattern in numbers.  Students will use connecting cubes and make strips with markings for up to ten groups of five, ten, three, six, and nine. After skip counting is recorded on the strip to determine the multiples of these various numbers, students will be encouraged to see the relationship in the numbers.  These measuring strips will help students figure out multiplication problems.
