Model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations with equivalent sets (equal groups/arrays).
Aligned tasks under 2.6A balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Model multiplication.
The intent of 2.6A is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Model multiplication.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 2.6A.
Standard 2.6A describes the essential skills and understandings for Model multiplication in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Model multiplication, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 2.6A.
