    4th grade students will practice solving division word problems using multiples and strategies like drawing pictures and subtracting groups. They will then work independently solving similar problems. 5th graders will review multiplying and dividing decimals and whole numbers by powers of 10, and how this relates to converting between metric units. They will then practice converting units independently and through games. Both classes will be assessed formatively through observation and a homework assignment.

    Formal Observation Lesson Plan

    Teacher: Alexa Cordray

    Date: Friday, March 16, 2018

    Subject / grade level: 4th and 5th grade math

    Materials:
    4th Grade Everyday Math Unit 6 Lesson 3: Strategies for Division
    5th Grade Everyday Math Unit 6 Lesson 3: Application: Converting Measurements in the Metric
    System
    Student math Journals
    SMART Board presentation

    Common Core State Standards:


    4th grade:
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.B.4
    Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number
    is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-
    100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in
    the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.5
    Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two
    two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations.
    Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area
    models.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.6
    Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit
    divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the
    relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by
    using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

    5th grade:
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.MD.A.1
    Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement
    system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real
    world problems.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.2
    Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers
    of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is
    multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of
    10.

    Lesson objective(s):
    4th grade:
    • Students will be able to solve division number stories using familiar multiples
    5th grade:
    • Students will be able to apply their understanding of multiplication and division by powers of
    10 to convert measurements in metric units

    Differentiation strategies to meet diverse learner needs:


    • Visual representations of information on Smart Board
    • Think Time for language processers
    • Hands-on opportunities for students to share, display, or explain their thinking on the
    SMART Board or with a Turn and Talk Partner

    SUMMARY
    4th grade:
    Students will use division and multiplication to find unknown quantities in multiplicative comparison
    numbers stories before moving on to solving a division number story on their own and discussing
    the strategies they used. Students will learn how to use multiples to solve division problems and
    then practice before beginning independent practice.

    5th grade:
    Students will begin by multiplying and dividing whole numbers and decimals by powers of 10
    before discussing how metric units are based on powers of 10 and learning how to convert
    between metric units. Then they will solve some multistep real-world problems involving metric
    conversions and continue with independent practice.

    MINILESSON (20-25 minutes each)


    4th grade:
    • Students will warm up by solving multiplicative comparison number stories and explaining
    their reasoning
    • Math Message: Mariana is in charge of seating students for an assembly. Each table seats
    6. Seventy-eight students will attend the assembly. How many tables will she need to seat
    all of the students?
    o Students solve independently and talk out their answers and reasoning
    • Introduce different strategies to solving these types of division problems: Drawing a picture,
    subtracting groups of 6 from 78, finding multiples of 6
    • Pose a different number story, have students try finding multiples to solve this one
    o List the multiples on the board
    o Reinforce what the problem is asking us to find
    o Write a number model
    o Discuss what to do with the remainder
    • Complete problems 1 and 2 on journal page 195 together
    • Send students off for independent practice

    5th grade:
    • Students will warm up by multiplying and dividing whole numbers and decimals by powers
    of ten and explaining their reasoning
    • Math message: Problem 1 on journal page 201
    o Students will figure out the rule to the function machine involving centimeters and
    meters, and complete the “What’s My Rule?” table
    o What was our rule? How did you know?
    o What if we were converting smaller units to bigger units?
    • Discuss the difference between the metric system and our system on measurement
    • Have students complete the rules for function machines 2 and 3.
    o How are these conversions similar to multiplying/dividing by powers of 10? What
    patterns do you notice?
    • Complete the number story (problem 4) together
    • Introduce Converting Measurements in the Metric System game and how to play
    • Send students off for independent practice

    INDEPENDENT PRACTICE (20-25 minutes each)


    4th grade: (after minilesson)
    • Complete journal pages 195-196 in their math journal-minilesson follow-up
    • Complete math box 6.3 in their math journal-practice and maintaining skills
    • Complete journal page 193 in math journals-review/practice
    • Play Divide and Conquer game with a partner
    • Some students will log on to Prodigy Math Game on their Chromebooks

    5th grade: (before minilesson)


    • Complete journal pages 195 and 199 in math journals-review/practice
    • Complete math boxes 6.1-6.3- practice and maintaining skills
    • Play Exponent Ball with a partner
    • Some students will log on to Prodigy Math Game on their Chromebooks
    (After minilesson)
    • Complete journal page 202 in math journals
    • Play Converting Measurements in the Metric System on their own

    EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT
    • Formative assessments throughout minilessons by thumb gauging, turning and talking, and
    observing student work during individual practice.
    • Assign and collect math homework (Everyday Math Home Link) to check for student
    understandings of the math concepts taught in the lesson.
