PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
NAME: Briana Friddle DATE: 10/20/22 GRADE: 4th # STUDENTS: 28
UNIT/TOPIC: Topic 5 Breaking apart to multiply
LESSON # 3 OF 4
LESSON NAME: Breaking Apart
ELD. I.A.1 Exchange information and ideas with others through oral collaborative discussions on a
range of social and academic topics.
CONTENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE(S): Based on the content standards, write one or two
content learning objectives that state what students should know and/or be able to do as a result of
this lesson. Objectives MUST be: specific, measurable, and realistic.
Students will be able to break apart numbers and use arrays to help them multiply.
Students will be able to break apart greater numbers to multiply and combine the partial products.
LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES: Based on the ELD standards, write one or two language objectives
that state how students’ English language development will be supported through this lesson.
Consider how you might include objectives that meet the needs of students at different proficiency
levels (emerging, expanding, bridging, lifelong learning)
Students will be able to exchange their ideas with their peers through academic discussions about
breaking apart to multiply.
ACADEMIC LANGUAGE: Identify the language demands of the lesson. Detail the level and
complexity of the texts being used, as well as the key vocabulary students must understand in
order to participate effectively in this lesson.

STANDARDS, OBJECTIVES, ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
Academic language: partial products, final product, arrays, break apart, multiply
After making the objective clear to the class, I will activate what students have already learned
from the previous lesson(s). To continue reminding them of previous lessons we will review place
and place value to help prepare them to break numbers apart. As a class they can recite the order
of number places. We will also review what an array is and how we can use it to help us multiply
numbers.
I will then prompt the students to answer “Why might we want to break apart a larger number
before we multiply it?” Students can utilize the think-pair-share method to explore why we might
want to break numbers apart.
LESSON SEQUENCE: Specify the sequence of activities that will scaffold your students’ learning
toward the objectives. What will students be doing? Think specifically about what questions you
will ask, in what activities students will engage, how you will promote discussion, and how you will
facilitate students’ use of key academic language. As you write this section, be sure to design your
instruction to support all learners in your classroom (i.e., utilize universal design principles:
engagement, representation, action & expression; accommodations and modifications).

journal to use as a resource if they ever forget how to solve
these types of problems.
I will then model using the array method, which is a review from
a previous lesson, to multiply 4 X 2. “Then we need to multiply
for the one place which would be our 4 X 3. There are no zeros
here, so I can draw an array of 4 rows of 3 to show me my
answer of 12.”
Students will be able to think-pair-share to discuss what this While students are discussing
might mean. During this time I will walk around to check-in with with their partner, I will be walking
partner groups to see what level of thinking they are around to oversee their
demonstrating. I will randomly select students using ClassDojo conversations and hear their
to evaluate their thinking process. thoughts. I will also randomly
select students to demonstrate
I will then conclude the problem by adding the two partial their understanding.
products together to receive my final product.
WE DO: Now that I have modeled for the students, we will work
on a problem together.

I will prompt them to get out their white-board marker. We will
then work on 4 X 36.
“Now that we have broken down the numbers, what do we need During this time, I will again walk
to do next?” The students will then draw out the arrays on their around to assess how the
students are solving the problems

and answer questions as needed. demonstrating,
I will ask the students what the values they received are called.
Now I will prompt them to add their partial products together to
receive their final total.

YOU DO:
Now that the students have seen me model and we have done
problems together, I will hand out an exit ticket for them to work
on a few problems independently.
CLOSURE: How will you bring closure to the lesson? What questions and/or prompts might you
use to support students in articulating/sharing their learning? How will you preview what will
come next for the students in regard to the subject matter?
To conclude this lesson, I will collect their exit tickets. I will ask them to share what they learned or
observed about breaking numbers apart. I will share with them that in the future they will be
breaking apart larger numbers so using this method will be beneficial to them.
I will ask the students about anything they noticed or wondered during the lesson to help me see
the areas they used their critical thinking skills and areas they may need more clarity. I will finalize
the lesson by showing the SWBAT again. I will ask them to give me a hidden thumbs up if they
feel they met the goal, thumbs sideways if they are almost there, and thumbs down if they need
some more help.
