* Use ladybugs as manipulatives to solve multiplication problems
* Sing skip counting songs
* guided practice - ink blot ladybugs & smartboard

*(C) Ladybug folder game (dots) / sorting bugs by color / songs to clap to |
| Technology? |
Kid Pix or other drawing program / smartboard / overhead projector - ladybug outline transparancy & coins for spots
|
| Strategies: |
warm ups: students will write out even numbers
activating: skip count chanting and songs
organizing: ink blot ladybug craft
comprehending: (see assessment)
applying: independent practice worksheets (adding doubles, nx2, symmetry)
Essential ?: What do adding doubles and multiplying by 2 have in common?
|
| Assessment: |
Students will create a symmetrical ladybug and include number sentences (+doubles, nx2). Students can choose how to represent the ladybug.
