Math Jumps and Multiplication Concepts

Maria and her mascots, Matthew and Giganto, teach multiplication using a number line. They demonstrate how to multiply by making jumps on the number line, illustrating the commutative property and skip counting. The lesson includes building a multiplication table and solving problems through visual and interactive methods. The session concludes with a review and puzzles to reinforce learning.
