Multiplication Mats – Above The Clouds

Multiplication Mats – Above The Clouds

These Above the Clouds Multiplication Mats are fantastic for helping children develop an understanding of the concept of multiplication. Present these mats with a collection of manipulatives (small objects) for the children to use to make equal groups and find their total.

Features:

* Contains mats for up to 10 groups.

Ideas for Use:

* Small unicorns or rainbows go really well with these mats as manipulatives.

* Laminate for longevity and reuse over and over with dry erase markers.

* When they are ready, use our multiplication cards to give students an equation to make on the mat (we have a unicorns set!). This helps bridge the understanding of what they are doing with making groups and the written equation.

Tip! While children are beginning to learn the concept of multiplication, use words like “groups of” rather than “times” or “multiplied by”, as this makes it easier for them to understand the concept.

If the child/children are not ready to start recording yet, we have Grouping and Sharing mats without the recording written on them.
