●

Skill: Identify a number sentence that represents the commutative property of multiplication

○

LOC Score: 22

○

NAT Score: 21

■

Deficit: -1

●

Lesson Plan:

○

Objective: Students will be able to identify number sentences that demonstrate the commutative property of multiplication (e.g., 3 x 4 = 4 x 3)
