Explanation

Multiplication Properties

Properties of operations are the rules that describe the behavior of an operation.

When the Number of Groups Increases by 1

One property of multiplication is that when the number of groups (the multiplier) increases by 1, the product increases by the size of the group (the multiplicand).

Look at the shaded column in this multiplication table. The first shaded cell shows the total in 1 count of 3. The next shaded cell shows the total in 2 counts of 3. Do you see that 6 is 3 more than 3? The third shaded cell shows the total in 3 counts of 3. Do you see that 9 is 3 more than 6?

As you go down this column, each cell is 1 group of 3 more than the cell above it. Every cell in the column for groups of 5 is 1 group of 5 more than the cell above it, and every cell in the column for groups of 9 is 1 group of 9 more than the cell above it. This multiplication rule is true for all numbers, no matter how large or small.

When the Number of Things in Each Group Increases by 1

A related rule or property of multiplication is that when the size of a group (the multiplicand) increases by 1, the product increases by the number of groups (the multiplier).

Look at the shaded row in this multiplication table. The first shaded cell shows the total in 5 counts of 1. The next shaded cell shows the total in 5 counts of 2. Do you see that 10 is 5 more than 5? The third shaded cell shows the total in 5 counts of 3. Do you see that 15 is 5 more than 10? As you go across this row, each cell is 5 more than the cell to its left. That is because going 1 cell to the right is the same thing as having 1 more object in each of 5 groups.

Look at the row for 2 groups. Every cell in this row is 2 more than the cell to its left. That is because going 1 cell to the right is the same thing as having 1 more object in each of the 2 groups. This multiplication rule is true for all numbers, no matter how large or small.

When You Switch the Order of the Factors

If you switch the order of the factors in any multiplication, the product stays the same. One way to see that this rule must be true is to think about an array. This array has 5 rows with 6 things in each row. It represents the expression .

If the array is turned around, the same array becomes 6 rows with 5 things in each row. The total, or the product, doesn't change.

You can use this property of multiplication to help you figure out multiplication facts you have not yet learned by using facts you already know. For example, if you know that , you can use that knowledge to figure out that .

When You Break the Multiplier Into Parts to Multiply

You already know that if you have 3 apples and 4 apples, you have 7 apples.

Multiplication works in exactly the same way. If you have 3 groups of 2 and 4 more groups of 2, in all you have 7 groups of 2.

Now look at the rows for 3 groups, 4 groups, and 7 groups. Notice that the numbers in the green cells in any column add to the number in the blue cell in the same column.

When You Break the Multiplicand Into Parts to Multiply

Breaking the multiplicand into parts to multiply works exactly the same way. If you have 4 groups of 2 and 4 groups of 3, in all you have 4 groups of 5.

So, if you want to know how many things there are in 4 groups of 5, you can multiply and and add the products.

This property of multiplication is true for all numbers, no matter how large or small.

When There Are Three or More Factors

When you have to do two multiplication operations in a row, the final product will be the same whether you perform the first multiplication first or the second multiplication first. For example, suppose you want to calculate You can multiply first, and then calculate Or, you can multiply first, and then calculate Either way the product is 30.

Multiplication Chart

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Use this free interactive multiplication chart to teach times table facts. Fluency in multiplication facts can help students as they move on to other topics including division, word problems, and problem-solving. When students are confident in their knowledge of multiplication, they can focus on other aspects of problem-solving such as choosing the correct operation, critical thinking, and analyzing numbers.

To use the free interactive multiplication chart, choose the color on the left side of the chart. Then, select any product on the chart. The product and corresponding factors will automatically be highlighted. In addition, the equation will appear at the bottom of the chart. Continue highlighting products and factors to show a pattern. Use various different colors to show how different factors create patterns on the board. Use the trash can button to clear the chart.

The interactive multiplication chart also highlights the commutative property of multiplication. Highlight this by showing students that no matter which order the factors are displayed, the product is the same. For example, 4 x 5 = 20 and 5 x 4 = 20.

You can use the chart to practice multiplication facts as a class, or as a control of error so that students can check their work.

Parent's Guide to Accelerated Reader (AR)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor children's independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his own level and reads it at his own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader gives children, teachers, and librarians feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

Children using Accelerated Reader choose their own books to read, rather than having one assigned to them. This makes reading a much more enjoyable experience as they can choose books that are interesting to them.

Teachers and librarians help your child choose books at an appropriate readability level that are challenging without being frustrating, ensuring that your child can pass the quiz and experience success.

If your child does not do well on the quiz, the teacher or librarian may help your child:

Choose another book that is more appropriate.

Ask more probing questions as your child reads and before your child takes a quiz.

Pair your child with another student, or even have the book read to your child.

In most cases, children really enjoy taking the quizzes. Since they're reading books at their reading and interest levels, they arelikely to be successful. This is satisfying for most children. Best of all, they learn and grow at their own pace.

Every book that has an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz is given a point value. Points are computed based on the difficulty of the book (ATOS readability level) and the length of the book (number of words).

For example, the Berenstain Bears books, which are about 1,000 words long and have an average ATOS book level of 3.5, are 0.5-point books. Hank the Cowdog, which is about 23,000 words long and has an average ATOS book level of 4.5, is a 3-pointbook. The Sun Also Rises, about 70,000 words long and at an ATOS book level of 4.4, is a 10-point book.

Children earn points, or a portion of a book's points, depending on how well they do on the Reading Practice Quiz. For example, a child who takes a 5-question quiz on a book worth 1 point will earn 1 point for 5 correct answers (100%), 0.8 point for 4 correct answers (80%), etc. A child who reads a book worth 5 points and takes a 10-question quiz will earn 5 points for 10 correct answers (100%), 4.5 points for 9 correct answers (90%), etc. For quizzes with 3, 5, or 10 questions, a child needs to pass a quiz with a score of 60% or higher to earn points. For quizzes with 20 questions, a child needs to pass with a score of 70% or higher to earn points.

You may notice that some popular books have more points assigned to them than some classic pieces of literature. Tom Clancy's Executive Orders, for example, is a 78-point book while Shakespeare's Macbeth is a 4-point book. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean we think Executive Orders is a better book or more worthwhile to read than Macbeth, only that-at 458,453 words versus 19,048 words-it is much longer and provides more reading practice time.

Accelerated Reader includes several types of quizzes designed to support the development of several reading skills.

Quiz types include:

Reading Practice Quizzes are the most common type of assessment in Accelerated Reader. The purpose of these quizzes is to determine whether your child has read a book, to measure literal comprehension of the book, and to provide immediate feedback. Each Reading Practice Quiz consists of 3, 5, 10, or 20 multiple-choice questions depending on book level and length. They are available in English, Spanish, and Recorded Voice formats.

Recorded Voice Quizzes are designed for beginning readers and students learning English. They are professionally recorded by a narrator who reads the quiz questions and answer choices as they appear on screen.

Vocabulary Practice Quizzes measure a child's command of vocabulary words encountered while reading. They are designed to reinforce vocabulary acquisition, assist with individualizing vocabulary instruction, and generate your child's interest in words through authentic, in-context literature experiences. Quizzes include 5, 10, or 15 words from a particular book as well as review words from previously read books.

Literacy Skills Quizzes are designed to give your child's teacher information on specific reading skills. Questions are randomly generated from a 36- or 60-item bank, resulting in 12 or 24 quiz questions. Due to item-bank technology, Literacy Skills Quizzes can be taken up to three times. Quiz questions are based on 24 specific, higher-order reading comprehension skills from state standards, basal reading series, and standardized tests.

To know which quizzes your school has available, contact your child's teacher or librarian, as schools may not have purchased all quizzes. You can also visit the Accelerated Reader Bookfinder™ at arbookfind.com to conduct a search of all available books with Accelerated Reader quizzes.

Visit arbookfind.com and click on Advanced Search. By conducting an advanced search, you can generate book lists that contain titles based on the criteria you enter such as book level, topic, interest level, fiction/nonfiction, etc. My child's

Log onto Accelerated Reader Bookfinder at arbookfind.com. Enter the key code given to your child by his teacher or librarian and click Go to access the "Teacher List" created by your child's teacher or librarian.

Just because a child can read the words in a book doesn't mean the content is appropriate. The interest level of the material must be considered. Interest level is based on content-a book's themes and ideas-and indicates for which age group a book is appropriate. The chart below shows which grades fall into each interest level.

In many cases, a book's interest level coordinates with its book level. Hank the Cowdog, for example, the content of which is suitable for fourth-graders, has a book level of 4.5. Many books, however, have a low book level but are appropriate for upper grades and vice versa. For example, Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises has a book level of 4.4 because its sentences are short and its vocabulary is simple. The interest level, however, is UG for Upper Grades. In contrast, Arthur Throws a Tantrum has a book level of 4.9 because it contains fairly long words and sentences, but it is intended for students in the lower grades.

A TOPS Report is available after a child takes a quiz to give you feedback on your child's understanding of the book and shows cumulative data for the marking period and school year. The TOPS Report may be sent home with your child. You can review the report, sign it, and send it back to school with your child.

Your child's school may also allow you to access your child's Accelerated Reader information in Renaissance Home Connect® from a computer with web access. You must first gain access to the program from the school. Once in the program, you can view your child's progress toward goals, points, and books read to monitor your child's success. You can also access Accelerated Reader Bookfinder to search for titles of interest. You can only access information about your child.

If you have more than one child in your home using Accelerated Reader, you must request access to Renaissance Home Connect for each of your children.
