Assessment
Students will play a game with their
partner and have to complete a
worksheet, filling in the multiplication
sentence, the addition sentence, and
the array. The teacher will check
these worksheets for understanding
of all these concepts.
Students will take turns rolling the
dice and playing the game. They will
then work together to complete the
worksheet. The teacher will make
sure that the students can work
together in a respectful and
productive manner.
Introduction: The teacher will put the following problem of the day on the
board to prepare the students for the multiplication game today. The problem
states: Betty has 4 plants. Each plant has 5 flowers in it. How many flowers
does Betty have in total? Write the multiplication sentence and repeated
addition sentence. Draw an array to help you. The students will have a few
minutes to complete the problem and the teacher will review how to solve
this and how to write repeated addition, multiplication sentences, and arrays.
Prior Knowledge: The students have been learning about and practicing
multiplication as repeated addition and drawing arrays to help solve
multiplication problems.
Instructional Plan: The teacher will tell the students that today they will be
demonstrating everything they have learned in multiplication while playing a
game and working together. The teacher will explain the directions to the
game. Each set of partners will have a dice. One partner will roll the dice the
first time and record the number that comes up in the column on the
worksheet that says number of rows. The other partner will then roll the dice
the second time and record that number in the number in each row column.
Next, the students will each write the addition sentence, the multiplication
sentence, the array, and the product. The students will have about twenty
minutes to play the game and the worksheet will be double sided so they can
continue until the whole time is up.
Differentiation: While the students are playing the game, the students that
need extra help will meet with the teacher at the small table to play the
game as a group.
Transitions: The students will move from their seats to the carpet for the
problem of the day and the instructions and back to their seats to play the
game.
Questions: What did you notice about the numbers that come up on the
dice? What are some new multiplication facts that you learned?
Closure: The teacher will regain the attention of the students and ask them
what they noticed about the numbers. They should have noticed that the
numbers do not go over 6x6. Next, the teacher will have the students share
a new multiplication fact that they learned while playing the game.
