Lesson Overview
Lesson Plan Title / Why Multiplication?
Open / Essential Question / How does multiplication save time when it comes to adding?
Lesson Summary / The lesson is being taught to show why multiplication works and how it is essentially adding in groups. It will be taught by reading a book about a young girl who loves to count but realizes that counting everything can be impossible. Students will complete a worksheet concerning multiplication riddles and the relationship of addition and multiplication. They will also create their own multiplication riddles to be put into a class PowerPoint and go around the school taking pictures of objects that would be too hard to count. They will present their pictures to the class and describe how they used multiplication to add up all the pieces. Children will learn what exactly multiplication is and what importance it has in the real world.
Subject Area(s) / Math
Grade Level / 2nd Grade
Student Objectives / Students will:
· Explore how multiplication and addition are related.
o Multiplication is a process of grouping numbers together to add quicker.
· Identify when to use multiplication to determine the count of a large set of items.
· Compare two values using multiplication to determine which one is bigger.
Standards and Benchmarks / K-4 Benchmark N.2: Understand the meaning of operations and how they relate to one another.
2.N.2.4 Identify and describe situations that require multiplication and division and develop strategies to solve problems for
repeated joining of groups and partitioning into equal subgroups or shares (e.g., repeated addition and subtraction, counting
by multiples, equal sharing).
Assessment
Description of how student progress will be assessed. / I will assess how well students completed the worksheet. I will also assess how well they chose their picture and how they grouped their numbers to counts their objects. Do they understand what multiplication is?
Procedure
Step-by-Step Procedure
Please include
· Teaching instructions written as a numbered list of steps to be taken in order to teach the lesson
· Examples of guiding or facilitation questions throughout the lesson
· How and when to use the resources and materials used in the lesson / 1. Ask students.
Which had more pencils - 2 packets with 5 in each packet or 3 packets with 4 pencils in each packet? Have question written on the board so students can read with you.
Ask students how they came to their answer. Facilitate discussion asking why they chose to do it the way they did and what was good and bad about the way they did it.
2. Read Amanda Bean’s Amazing Dream
Make sure to add emphasis to her frustration. Ask students what the problem is. Why is Amanda Bean so upset?
After Reading:
Why did Amanda get so overwhelmed? What did the sheep suggest to her? Why would multiplication help her? What is multiplication?
3. Pass out worksheet. Read the directions together and go through each example for each set of questions as a class.
4. Students will create a PowerPoint book of riddles. Each student will create their own slide of a riddle similar to the first set of questions on the worksheet as well as the solution on the second slide. They will use their creativity to make it interesting and include clip art relating to their riddle. Hand out checklist to students before the assignment which will be used as the rubric and hand out Adding Transitions between PowerPoint Slides.
5. Say to students: Amanda Bean had trouble counting all the library books in the library and trouble counting all the wheels on the sheep’s bikes. What else would be too hard to count and would require multiplication?
Students will spend time in the classroom, in the hallway and outside on the playground to find something that would take too long to count. They will take a picture of their objects. In pairs, they will present their picture to the class and tell how they used multiplication to count all their objects including how they grouped things together and if there is another way to group it. Hand out checklist before starting, which will also be used as the grading rubric.
Prerequisite Skills Needed / Students will have been already practicing their multiplication tables and have prior knowledge with PowerPoint. Students will also have prior knowledge with class-set of cameras.
