Description

PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK (DECEMBER 2020)—Manorhaven Elementary School in Port Washington is utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, through the combination of mathematics and art, to teach students multiplication. Dr. Brevig's third grade class showcased their artistry while creating multiplication arrays, the representation of multiplication and division using rows and columns, of city buildings on the New York skyline. The activity, designed to help students model multiplication as repeated addition and further understand multiplication properties, enabled the class to become master balloon handlers using construction paper, photographs, and string.
