NCTCA 2025

Multiplication and Place Value games and strategies for upper elementary students will be shared and modeled by the presenter throughout the session. Participants will be able to use the games and strategies from the session immediately back in their classrooms. The games and strategies presented mostly utilize simple cards and dice as manipulatives for engaging, hands-on learning and practice of these two extremely important areas of upper elementary math. They also apply the most up-to-date findings in brain research regarding effective ways to instill learning into permanent memory (mastery). The presenter will model and highlight easy and effective ways to manage the manipulatives and implement the games and strategies into classrooms without extra work by the teachers. Easy and effective differentiation and assessment strategies including assessment tools will be shared during the session and in the extensive handout that will be provided for download before and after the session.
