Unit​: Understand the Meaning of Multiplication

Week 1

Common Core State Standards

3.OA.A1​ ~ Interpret products of whole numbers

Standards for Mathematical Practice

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics

Vocabulary
Equation, multiply, factor, product, array, total, equation, group, addition, model
Lesson Plan
Goal I can multiply whole numbers using models, repeated addition, and grouping
strategies.
Spiral Review/ Addition review problems
Homework Review or
Pg. 1 Homework review problems
Introduce “I do” State: ​Today, we will multiply whole numbers (read Goal)
Pg. 2 Have students underderline goal or part of goal when reading aloud

Share​: Multiplication is a way to find the total amount (product).

Introduce​: Equal groups
Have students state observations of groups (introduce vocabulary of factors)
Use guiding questions (listed below) to discuss

Model​: Equal groups with drawings

Ex:
5 x 3 = “5 groups of 3”
Count total for product of 15
Connect​: If you have 5 bags and you put 3 apples into each bag, how many apples do you
have in total?
Use guiding questions (listed below) to discuss
Guided Practice Review​: Equal group models and multiplication sign (factors and products)
“We do”
Pg. 2 Ex:
3 groups of 4 = 3 x 4
Count total for product of 12
Connect​: If you have 4 friends and you give each 3 lollipops, how many lollipops did you
give away in total?
Use guiding questions (listed below) to discuss

Solve​: Word Problem

Read aloud
Guide students in drawing model of problem (​i.e.​ ​6 plates with 6 carrots on each​)
Use guiding questions (listed below) to discuss
Independent Practice Multiplication worksheet
“You do”
Pg. 3/4
Small Groups Have students follow teacher model, and work in table groups, with partners
(homogeneous and heterogeneous), with paraprofessionals, and independently
Pull small groups to complete worksheet
Questioning What do equal groups mean? How do you know when you have equal groups?
What is the multiplication sentence?
How many groups do we need to make? How many counters in each group? What is
our total (product)?
Can you write an equation? What do these numbers represent? What does ____ stand
for?
Does multiplication give us product greater than or less than the factors?
Can you see a pattern?
How can this pattern help you find an answer? What do you think comes next? Why?
Can you think of similar problems we have solved? How might that help?
Could you use objects or pictures to help you solve the problem?
Is this answer reasonable? Does it make sense? Why or why not?
What is the relationship between the quantities in this problem? Does your solution
answer the question? What is the unit being used? How do you know that?
Which strategy is most helpful to you? What about it helped?
Discussion/Review Complete reflection
pg. 4 Have students use underlined goal for additional spelling/language support
Have students circle strategy they used and/or liked best
Assessment Exit ticket
pg. 5
(Check for Understanding)
Fluency Practice flashcards, additional worksheets
Differentiation Vocabulary enrichment, differentiated worksheet, strategic table groups, small groups,
manipulatives, paraprofessional assistance
Homework Worksheet
