Skip Counting and Repeated Addition

I used two strategies to figure out math equations. They are called skip counting and repeated addition. 

First, we figured out some equations using skip counting and repeated addition using uni-link blocks. We had to make numbers using unilink blocks and figure out the equations. For example: 5 and 5 unilink blocks.

Next, we made a google slide deck and used the unilink blocks for each time table. The timetable was the 6 times table. For example: 5x6, repeated addition - 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30, skip counting - 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. 

Last, we did the last couple of slides for the times tables and we were finished.  

I learned a lot about these two strategies because when I have to figure out an equation like 32 x 5, I could use the two strategies to help understand the equation.
