Students will learn to recognize the difference between multiplication and division word
problems.
They will be able to see multiplication/division vocabulary to decide how they should solve the
problem.
Lesson Objectives or Success Criteria (Word these as student actions, use verbs.)
CSTP Rationale (Describe the ways your lesson aligns with California Standards for the Teaching
Profession.)
CSTP 4 Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students
- Write the goals of understanding word problems behind me
- Using the students previous academic and personal knowledge about multiplication
and division
- Drawing models next to some word problems to have more than one strategy available
Lesson Plan Content (Written narrative paragraph about the lesson content.)
The students will cut out different world problems with multiplication or division problems.
They will also have another worksheet with a multiplication column and a division column and
I will have one be red and one is green. After the students have all the problems cut out I’ll tell
them to find a certain one and read it aloud. Then I’ll ask them to show me by holding up the
colored crayon associated with each operation on 3. I’ll look around to check their
understanding, and then ask how they knew which one it was by explains that for
multiplication your trying to find a total and division has a total in the problem. I will call on
someone to answer the question. Then using the color I will circle the total number in the
problem that tells the students its division and underline the question to show for division its
looking for a part. For using the crayon for multiplication I will underline the question and
explain how it’s asking for a total and if it has any key words that shows “ in all” I will have
them circle the key words. For some of the problems I’ll draw models to give a visual example.
Instructional Procedures
• Focusing Event (Describe how you will get students to focus attention on your teaching.)
Ringing the chimes to grab their attention
• Instructional Strategies (Describe all instructional methods you will employ during the lesson.)
- Direct Instruction because of receiving the handouts and following along, and
practicing deciphering the problems together
- Interactive Instruction because the whole class will participate through showing
the corresponding color and having discussions on why each card would go in
each group
- Indirect Instruction by problem solving and making decisions on which category
the problem fits in to. As well as guiding them to ask themselves the question
on which operation to use
• Student Participation (How will you engage students and get them on board to participate?)
By staying enthusiastic and keeping the lesson lively and moving so the students stay
interested.
• Formative Check (How will you check that all students are involved and engaged in the lesson?
I will check by seeing their engagement by holding up the crayon of each color and
rising their hands to answer question. I will also make sure that the students are
following along with gluing by looking around the room.
• Closure (How will you end the lesson purposefully, with intentionality?)
Telling the students that now that they know how to decide if word problems are
multiplication or division they can then learn how to set up and solve the problem.
• Assessment (How will you assess that students achieved the lesson goals or learning targets?)
The paper is colored correctly and the problems are glued in the right columns when
they turn it in.
