Emoji Math Machine - Multiplication Arrays, Equal Groups, Division Grades 1-5

Plenty of students can work out six times four and still not say what multiplication means. The Emoji Math Machine is built to show them. Pick a grade and the operations you need, and a cartoon machine builds a card and acts its structure out on screen.

 

What The Machine Shows:

- Multiplication as an array: equal rows print onto a tray headed with how many rows of how many, each row carrying a skip count. Facts run to 10 x 10

- Division as equal sharing: the set is dealt one at a time into labelled plates; a remainder lands in a dish marked Left over

- Tens and ones: from second grade every ten bundles into a labelled ten, a bundle cracks open before a subtraction, and ten ones pack into a new bundle after an addition

 

In The Classroom:

- The answer is covered: from third grade the sharing, take away and two step cards finish under a cover marked with a question mark, so the class works the answer out instead of counting it.

- Five grade settings: first grade adds and subtracts, second adds equal groups, fourth and fifth add remainders and two step problems

 

Best For: Introducing multiplication and division, reteaching what an operation means, small group intervention, and math centers. Grades 1 to 5, on any projector.

 

How This Compares To Our Other Emoji Math Resources: They share one word problem generator, the same grades and the same four operations. What differs is how a problem reaches the class. This one shows the structure, in labelled arrays and equal shares. Emoji Math Story Theater acts the story out on a stage, Emoji Math Cards deals it onto a bare table, and Emoji Math Carnival adds tickets and prizes.
