This 9-week pacing guide provides structured support for students in Tier 3 intervention focusing on fluency in multiplication and division within 100, especially with factors less than or equal to 5. The guide is divided into three phases:
1. **Conceptual Foundations (Weeks 1–3)**: Students will learn about equal groups and arrays, building their understanding of multiplication as repeated addition. They will explore different models, recognize and construct arrays, and connect visual representations to mathematical equations.
2. **Fluency & Properties (Weeks 4–6)**: The second phase emphasizes mastery of specific multiplication facts, including properties like identity and zero properties, as well as the commutative property. Students will engage in drills that relate skip-counting to multiplication and solidify their understanding through practice.
3. **Division & Word Problems (Weeks 7–9)**: The final phase focuses on connecting multiplication and division through fair sharing concepts and solving word problems. Students will learn to identify fact families and apply their understanding in various contexts. Progress monitoring takes place throughout the guide, ensuring that students achieve the required accuracy and fluency.
