value blocks, 1 digit number show the number of groups one has to make.
Teacher’s reflection: Activity went very well.
Students were listening carefully to the instructions. Some of them did very

Place value blocks are an excellent tool to teach concepts related to the place value system and the number operations.
Using manipulatives in the classroom makes the process vivid and helps in conveying abstract operations in a more concrete manner.
However it is essential for us as educators to ensure that the students are able to relate the application of these tools to the basic procedural techniques ( algorithm). Let's discuss how can this be done for the above lesson on multiplication. Please comment with your suggestions and tips.
