This is a fun, interactive, monster-themed flipchart that focuses on the meaning of multiplication. It supports Pearson’s Envision 3rd grade math program, but can be easily used on its own. The flipchart is full of “magic tricks”, interactive manipulatives, student interactives, and web links. It is highly engaging, and you’ll have your students’ attention from the beginning to the end of the lesson! There are suggestions for how you can use some pages as well as suggestions for additions to the lessons. Be sure to read the page notes—otherwise you will miss something! The flipchart includes the following lessons:
