Thinking Through Multiplication and Division

Here is a video from a 3rd grade class regarding the teaching of Multiplication and Division. One of the reasons I would include this on a site for Middle School is that many of our students are weak in in this area. While facts practice is important, so is an understanding of what multiplication and division is. Looking for patterns, developing strategies (such as decomposing), and building their mathematical sense and confidence are elements that are helpful to include when teaching math to any grade.
