    I chose to plan out student responses to the grade 2 “Cover the Floor” task. I feel like I probably missed some strategies so I like that the sheet has blanks for the unexpected student thinking that I am sure I will notice each day that surprises me.

    *students draw the entire 12×9 and count one by one on their picture

    *students repeatedly add 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9

    *students add 12 repeatedly 9 times

    *students repeatedly add 10 12 times, then take away 12

    *students may use some multiplication 10 x 9 and 10 x 2?

    *students may model with blocks and then skip count to find the total

    *students may use a number line and show jumps for each row or column
