It’s an important part of any ESL program since grammar comprises the correct use, rules, and understanding of parts of speech, word classes, inflections, increasing word complexity, and understanding complex sentence structures and syntax. Key to these are lessons about phrasal verbs, modals, and past tense for different verbs.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phrasal verbs are those verbs that indicate action and include other words to make that action clear such as ask for or back up.

Scaffolding is the magic key to unlocking learning for ELs. A scaffold is an important tool for us to employ when planning our lessons. It provides a support system that helps ELLs learn the language more effectively. Scaffolding also helps students to feel more confident as they learn, and it gives them a sense of progress as they make progress in their language learning.</p><p style="--tw-border-opacity: 1;

Take a look for the Math-specific vocabulary you are using in your lesson. Identify which words you want to point out and make sure to explain each one for its new context. For example, students should think 'multiplication' when a word problem uses words like times, every, double, and per. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">P</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ractice multiplication </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> build Math fact fluency</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in your classroom with </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Multiplication-Timed-Tests-Assessment-Multiplication-Practice-632498?utm_source=Blogpost&utm_campaign=ESL%20Math%20Vocabulary%20That%20ELL%20Students%20Need%20To%20Know" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Multiplication Timed Tests Bundle - Factors 0 - 12</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

In Oregon where I live, students take the ELPA. Similar to the Can-Do Descriptors, teachers have access to the ELPA Achievement Level Descriptors. You can use these to map out student scores and have an idea of what they can do and understand at their current proficiency level. Partner up with your school’s ESL teacher to get assistance with finding the correct document for your state’s laws. </span></div><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 72pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Montserrat, sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 72pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Montserrat, sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-22decb38-7fff-5220-2227-cb516806785c"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 167px; overflow: hidden; width: 534px;"><img height="167" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/h-hs2q2WMgrM5Mf2YDMVuOLAdxN33p21W9h9VipufdhZqQZD6CiiCj3ostlaxWWvfLq2PMptzoQNLtanUkUKMs93VU86b07Hacsz5RZ7xFeWXkTkwBTU-4xc8-LShbhATWniqIU0fbTji1NILsVYwSo" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="534" /></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 72pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 72pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Montserrat,sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">An example guiding document is pictured above.

The four language domains are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Some ESL beginners may equally need support in all four areas, and that’s okay! Knowing how your students scored gives you an idea of what different students have already mastered and what is a good starting point in their ESL lessons.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you have completed the steps above, stay tuned for my next blog post in the series, which focuses on </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Language Support for </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ESL-Newcomer-Activities-Ell-Newcomers-Curriculum-ESL-Lesson-Plans-4738581?utm_source=FTT%20Blog&utm_campaign=Where%20to%20Begin%20with%20ESL%20Newcomers" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #11ccc3; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ELL Newcomers</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #11ccc3; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 199px; overflow: hidden; width: 200px;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ESL-Year-Long-ELL-Lesson-Plans-ESL-Curriculum-English-Newcomer-Activities-6591772?utm_source=FTT%20Blog&utm_campaign=Where%20to%20Begin%20with%20ESL%20Newcomers%20year%20long%20bundle" target="_blank"><img height="199" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yqYH_RGfqF0-kDvC2CGaSF9cmypb-1gU8dPkoCYvy01pFphkBQdK8jx03paPGY-pi9qbAfedEfK_KGTFVLkiqMoaeSLrLeOAFQie2MpjboOFEguA7i1uAkuqXgNY_t9_9r89YtlhVI2kLx1Bo2lWrtI" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="200" /></a></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy Teaching!

ELLs start by writing phrases and sentences using basic verbs. As language increases so does writing. ELLs continue by writing sentences using past tense, perfect and progressive tenses including conjunctions and more descriptive adjectives. Finally, at early advanced levels we see ELLs writing complex paragraphs and essays filled with sophisticated vocabulary, idioms and figurative writing, complex sentences, and using appropriate voice.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Get your </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ELL-Year-Long-Bundle-ESL-Lesson-Plans-ELL-Curriculum-6591772?utm_source=Blogpost&utm_campaign=Teaching%20ELLs%20%E2%80%93%20What%20every%20ESL%20should%20know!" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">full-year curriculum bundle</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> with these lessons and more!

Many teachers include grammar as a fifth language skill. I agree! Educational achievement for ELLs requires proficiency in all 5 of these skills. If you teach ELLs then these basic language skills should be at the very heart of your instruction. Using activities and games in your daily lessons that incorporate some or all of the 5 communication skills builds fluency and language competency.

One student reads a word, short phrase, or sentence depending on language level. The player must repeat exactly what was said.

With more advanced language students use a paragraph or short article and have the player paraphrase the article.</span></span></li><li><span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Play music and have students raise their hand or stand up each time they hear a predetermined word in a song.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Play listen and do games.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dictation where students write down exactly what the teacher says.

The intricacies between these communications not only include grammatical forms but extends to intonation, stress, pitch, and pronunciation. Teaching English Language Learners when and how to use or not use idioms and figurative language is also imperative to include in oral and written lessons.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTLC4GhJo2iBhDwnTvKPgcM2Zx5Py_1ur3EEJ4poDptj0wSjuchIZQdsrdsFhAQ-SmPW1BDvL8FXXvhn_q0AYFEBQSdz2-tBDeCPGK-ffKYVQbVtHUMgxCmYbk-s0EtCXdN1AlqjYamO-67E_4aDlVAmF8PUEAka7fPpcPRRo_I-RdLhW0ZWRTgGj/s520/Talk%20about%20where%20to%20use%20language%20with%20real-life%20situations%20from%20Fun%20To%20Teach.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Using situational learning to teach oral language skills for teaching English Language Learners in your classroom." border="0" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="520" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTLC4GhJo2iBhDwnTvKPgcM2Zx5Py_1ur3EEJ4poDptj0wSjuchIZQdsrdsFhAQ-SmPW1BDvL8FXXvhn_q0AYFEBQSdz2-tBDeCPGK-ffKYVQbVtHUMgxCmYbk-s0EtCXdN1AlqjYamO-67E_4aDlVAmF8PUEAka7fPpcPRRo_I-RdLhW0ZWRTgGj/w400-h268/Talk%20about%20where%20to%20use%20language%20with%20real-life%20situations%20from%20Fun%20To%20Teach.jpg" title="Teaching oral language skills to ELLs" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ELLs should be instructed on how to conduct themselves in formal and informal situations including when and where to use casual speech patterns such as; you know, so, I mean, right and kind of.

Classroom teachers are responsible for the content learning of their ELLs. English Language Development teachers are responsible for English proficiency.

You left your roster at home, so you decide to do some quick math to figure out how many freeze pops you need to buy. You know that you have 6 students sitting together in table groups and 5 table groups total. How many students do you have altogether? How many freeze pops should you buy? Hopefully, you know how to multiply 6 X 5 to find the answer, but your students may not! They may need a multiplication refresher. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Summer school is a great time to review areas that students may have struggled with throughout the school year.

They can set the stage for your lesson and emphasize your language objectives.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ESL-Songs-and-Chants-ELL-Curriculum-ESL-Vocabulary-ESL-Activities-224849?st=73bd6b9be0caca160df475fe4aa8be8a" target="_blank">Songs and Chants</a> provide the ENGAGEMENT AND MOTIVATION all within the context of learning. Songs and Chants give meaning to students and they relax as they sing and play.<br /><br />Songs and Chants can trigger emotions and lower AFFECTIVE FILTERS. Students socialize through Songs/Chants. They can listen to themselves sing, and practice the reproduction of English songs while enjoying the rhythm. Finally, Songs and Chants help second language learners express their feelings.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ESL-Songs-and-Chants-ELL-Curriculum-ESL-Vocabulary-ESL-Activities-224849?st=73bd6b9be0caca160df475fe4aa8be8a" target="_blank">Songs and Chants</a> can be a perfect addition to any lesson!<br />Have fun!<br /><br />Happy Teaching!

Summer school doesn’t have to be an extension of the school year, instead, I challenge you to find ways to make summer school FUN! This post features <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-To-Teach" target="_blank">fun resources</a> to help you do just that. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check them out.👇</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the great things about summer school is the freedom to have a little more fun than you normally would during the school year. Give yourself the permission to enjoy teaching this summer and to give students hands-on learning opportunities. Allow students to learn through play and interaction with the material. I promise it’ll make this year’s summer school one that will be unforgettable. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We know that summer school still requires math and reading to be taught, so what engaging ways can we expose students to that content?

Fact fluency is a skill that students especially English Language Learners need to develop in order to be successful with math. This post will unpack what fact fluency is, any misconceptions, activities to teach it, and how to make it work for your ELLs. Let’s dive in! 😁</span></p></span><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span>________________________</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;">⭐What is math fact fluency?</h1><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 6 x 1?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 5 x 2?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">💧What is 4 x 3?</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are able to recall the answer to these questions in 2 seconds or less, you may have developed something called <b>math fact fluency</b>. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In simple terms, math fact fluency occurs when a student instantly recalls the answer to a basic math problem. As students repeatedly practice simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations, they commit the answers to their long-term memory. When students are able to recall these answers instantly, they have achieved math fact fluency.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, math fact fluency is also more than that. In order to possess this skill, students need to feel comfortable with numbers and enjoy working with them. Completing multiplication drills is monotonous and boring for students, but participating in fun activities can help them build their math fact fluency in meaningful ways. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>____________________________________________________</span></div><div><span><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Math fact fluency vs. Math fact automaticity</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The internet is filled with terms related to math facts. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what the difference between them is! Two common terms that can easily be interchanged are <i><b>math fact fluency</b></i> and <i><b>math fact automaticity</b></i>. Let’s discuss the difference below.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">👆Math Fact Fluency </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- the ability to solve math problems quickly and fluently. Fluency in math refers to being able to manipulate numbers to find an answer quickly. For example, if you posed the question, “how could I solve the problem 3 x 4?” students with fact fluency may know the answer is 12, but their basis in visualizing and manipulating numbers is what has caused them to possess the ability to solve this problem so quickly.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">✌Math Fact Automaticity </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- being able to automatically provide the answer to a question without thinking.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While automaticity is a part of math fact fluency, we want to instill a desire to love math and number manipulation, not just spewing out an answer like a robot.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;">_____________________________________________________</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-size: large;">⭐</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Lesson Plan</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking for a way to teach multiplication fact fluency to your students?

To teach students multiplication fact fluency, you must first teach students how to multiply. Great ways to do this include visual activities like arrays, repeated addition, or creating equal groups with manipulatives. These activities will get students’ minds turning with the understanding of how multiplication works.

(I have several printable game boards in my resource.)</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 291px; overflow: hidden; width: 217px;"><img height="291" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/GtAaQFeUNe8E_0GgtM6zlP-24Q171DiJipfjA76WeoG8NERRJf55erwiJsTJH6dZR--XlXqW-H1Y1gOi8tRG1tr_gpzHNXVf8ExEAeReKp9rzhzEhKmXxkxpS8BTwCwmUqCmhD-C" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="217" /></span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next, students take turns drawing an equation from the pile of facedown equation cards in the center of the table. Example equation cards are below:</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 101px; overflow: hidden; width: 365px;"><img height="101" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/sYm6WfRvAgUH_4UWZmUFFyUi-XeogdqehHp-rfpFF1nOVRgWYU8ch3Bxf2a98tL16P-ZlDxW1vlRzm3Ds7-b6bnP3Fzq1B2RH5IWnlePujJF-HsXT_iO7GJwcoptpPY1ClUkb_M1" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="365" /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 99px; overflow: hidden; width: 368px;"><img height="99" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/UeYE8WqDnfVCfKmEMMPRop6N9BO9VY1xWJ9JuQ1sVV6LF_pk0z0AvPqRkIhQ27FxMuBsWct9MPERDUbPNtlUXJukMk08_eK3vO42Bmr8_Qd-94A1INxrUYyU5Eu_YULlx9b9rj22" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="368" /></span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once students draw their equation cards, they read the equation aloud and try to determine the answer. As they are solving, their group mates try to solve the equation as well to be sure that the student who is answering the question gives the correct answer. Once the student solves the problem, he or she looks to see if the answer is on their game board. If it is, they cover the answer with the equation card itself. If it isn’t, they put the equation card in the discard pile. Play passes to the next player. The game ends when a player has filled his or her entire board with equation cards. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students love playing this game because they have the opportunity to compete against their group mates to fill up their board first! What student doesn’t love trying to be the first to win? This game helps build math fact fluency because students are practicing math in a meaningful way. Students are engaged as they repeatedly attempt to solve math equations with their group mates.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Have ESL students in your class?</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because fact fluency is primarily number-based, the skill itself requires little language. As long as students know the basic vocabulary surrounding the topic, <a href="https://esleld.blogspot.com/2021/09/Sentence-frames-during-math-instruction.html" target="_blank">students at all language levels</a>, newcomers included, can participate in these math games with ease. This is also a great unit to have newcomer students practice number vocabulary in English during small group time. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Get this game and many others in my multiplication bundle. This resource also contains timed tests and other multiplication worksheets and activities. Covering numbers 0-12, this unit is all you need to keep your students engaged during math small group, whole group, or as extra homework practice within your multiplication unit! </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Your students are right around the corner from achieving math fact fluency.
