Multiplication problem solving

Today in Math, the students worked on some multiplication word problems, in order to help them review some of the learning they did last year. I was very impressed with how well the groups were able to draw a diagram for each problem, as well as come up with a number sentence and a word sentence that answered the question - I needed to barely help any groups at all!




Also, the class earned their 20th marble today, which earns them a Mystery Motivator. To get the Mystery Motivator, the class has to earn 20 marbles - they can earn the marbles for things like being really quiet out in the hall for their bathroom/water break, working quietly and/or cooperatively in class, or when another teacher compliments the class on what a great job they're doing elsewhere in the school. The class has no idea what the Mystery Motivator is until the 20th marble is earned, at which time the surprise is revealed to them. The first Mystery Motivator was that the class will watch a movie tomorrow - way to go, room 18!
