You might be wondering what our pattern was for the 3’s times tables. Well, instead of looking for a pattern (there isn’t a really obvious one) we just learned Three is a Magic Number from Schoolhouse Rock. I wasn’t really convinced that it would work for A, but it did! So, here the video of the song. Good luck with threes!
PS – you’ll notice that the song leaves out 3 * 11 and 3 * 12 – well, 3 * 11 is easy, right? We talked about that yesterday – it’s just “3 in the tens place, and 3 in the ones place.” 12 is easy, too - “3, and then 3 doubled” 3 * 12 = 36. We’ll talk more about the 12’s when we get to them, but the first few 12 times tables are pretty straightforward.
If you have questions, you can ask them in the comments, email me, ask on Facebook, or on Twitter. I am on Facebook and Twitter live from 3:00-3:30 pm Mon-Thurs MDT.
