Celebrating our math thinking

We made 12 in a story

  • live at UOIT, 23 August 2010
  • based on the thinking of grades 2 students
  • students explored multiplication arrays for the number 12 and imagined, drew and described real life objects the arrays might represent - for example, the 1x12 array might be a caterpillar!

12 Kids on a bus
Have a look from the bird’s
eye view
See my caterpillar
It has 12 polka dots too.

Look close at the pictures

A cell phone with 12 buttons
12 dogs on a water slide
12 wheels on a bus
Boy can those dogs glide.

Have a look at the pictures they’re fun.

12 people in a house
12 people in a line
Eggs in an egg carton
And buttons on the stove
tell time.
