Commutative Property of Multiplication

Watch this cartoon about the commutative property of multiplication.  It is meant for older students, so some of the language may be confusing.  However, I am sure that you will be able to get it when we go over it as a class on Thursday.


Don't Give Up!

Just a reminder that we are working on perseverance this year. Keep working hard and using POSITIVE SELF-TALK when you make mistakes and do activities that are challenging.  Perseverance is a habit of geniuses.  Be a genius today!
