Groups and Grids is a complete 18-week, hands-on multiplication course designed for students in Grades 2 through 5 (Ages 7 to 11). Instead of relying on drills and worksheets alone, students explore multiplication through building, drawing, sorting, games, movement, and real-world problem solving. By discovering multiplication as equal groups, arrays, area models, and patterns, learners develop the deep conceptual understanding needed for long-term mathematical success.
This engaging course gradually moves students from concrete manipulatives to visual models and finally to abstract thinking, creating confident mathematicians who understand why multiplication works, not just how to calculate the answer.
Throughout six carefully sequenced units, students investigate multiplication using interactive activities, STEM challenges, puzzles, art, games, and collaborative projects. Every lesson encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning while reinforcing number sense and problem-solving skills.
