Standard 2.NSN.3 - Describe the picture using a multiplication equation.

Included Skills:

Operational Sense
• solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of whole numbers to 18, using a variety of mental strategies (e.g., "To add 6 + 8, I could double 6 and get 12 and then add 2 more to get 14.");
• describe relationships between quantities by using whole-number addition and subtraction (e.g., "If you ate 7 grapes and I ate 12 grapes, I can say that I ate 5 more grapes than you did, or you ate 5 fewer grapes than I did.");
• represent and explain, through investigation using concrete materials and drawings, multiplication as the combining of equal groups (e.g., use counters to show that 3 groups of 2 is equal to 2 + 2 + 2 and to 3 x 2);
• represent and explain, through investigation using concrete materials and drawings, division as the sharing of a quantity equally (e.g., "I can share 12 carrot sticks equally among 4 friends by giving each person 3 carrot sticks.");
• solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, with and without regrouping, using concrete materials (e.g., base ten materials, counters), student-generated algorithms, and standard algorithms;
• add and subtract money amounts to 100�, using a variety of tools (e.g., concrete materials, drawings) and strategies (e.g., counting on, estimating, representing using symbols).
