SUMMARY
1. Help children recognize, name, and compare shapes, and then teach them to
combine and separate shapes.
2. Encourage children to look for and identify patterns, and then teach them to
extend, correct, and create patterns.
3. Promote children’s understanding of measurement by teaching them to make
direct comparisons and to use both informal or nonstandard (e.g., the child’s hand
or foot) and formal or standard (e.g., a ruler) units and tools.
4. Help children collect and organize information, and then teach them to represent
that information graphically.
Teachers should begin to familiarize children with the concept of grouping and
displaying information by asking them to count and classify tangible objects (eg,
blocks, crayons) and abstract concepts (eg, 4- and 5-year-olds).
LESSON PLAN
Introduce the students to multiplying multi-digit numbers with this lesson that gives
them plenty of practice and has them play a game with a partner that makes the
lesson fun!
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to multiply whole numbers of up to four digits by one-digit and
two-digit whole numbers, using strategies based on place value.

Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin this lesson by reviewing place value. Write a five-digit number on
the board. Have students come to the board and identify each number's
place value.
Tell students that today they are going to use what they know about place
values to help them calculate multi-digit numbers.
Write a two-digit by one-digit multiplication problem on the board.
Have students raise their hands and work on solving the problems to
show you if they have previous experience with multiplying multi-digit
numbers like the one on the board.
Explain to them that it is very doable as long as they know the value of the
two single numbers, place value, and a strategy called regrouping.
Beginning
Provide student-friendly definitions in students' home language (L1) and
English (L2), for the following terms: "place value," "digit," "regrouping,"
"multiply." Include an image or example for each word.
Intermediate
Give students a chance to solve the two-digit by one-digit multiplication
problem with a partner before sharing their solution with the whole group.
Beginning
Let students work on the Multiply! worksheet with a supportive partner.
Encourage students to talk about their thinking and any products they
disagree on.
Intermediate
Write out and refer to the steps for multiplying multi-digit numbers using
the standard algorithm. Have students repeat the steps as you do each
one.
Intermediate
Provide sentence starters to help students discuss any challenges they
encountered during the guided practice, such as: "This problem was
difficult because..." or "I had trouble with the part when I had to..."
Beginning
Allow students to do their work with a helpful partner.
Give students access to the Vocabulary Cards so that they may use
correct terminology when asking a question or discussing a problem with
the teacher or a classmate.
Intermediate
Let students work in a small teacher-led group, and model how to solve a
couple of the two-digit by three-digit multiplication problems.
Have students describe their calculations as they are doing them. Correct
any language errors and celebrate accurate description.
Beginning
Give students a word/phrase bank with pertinent math vocabulary,
definitions, and examples which Will help them complete the assessment.
Have students work on the assessment worksheet with a partner.
Intermediate
Assign students fewer multiplication problems, and then have them
verbally describe the steps they take to solve each one.
Beginning
Let students talk to a partner about why it is important to understand place
value when multiplying.
Intermediate
Provide a sentence stem to support students as they discuss: "I think it is
important to understand place value when multiplying because..."
ATTACHMENTS
Find a friend and practice your multiplication skills. Find two coins or game pieces
and place them on the square labeled START. Choose one of the problems to
solve and move your game piece clockwise around the board to that problem’s
answer. Keep track of the number of corners you go around on each move. For
each one, give yourself a point. The player with the most points at the end is the
winner.
