Multiples of Ten!
Content goal:
By the end of the activity, students will know how to multiply one-digit numbers by multiples of ten. Students will be able to draw or write their work by showing how many groups of ten they see on each equation. Students will be provided with base ten sticks and multiplication charts to help them visualize the problem. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with each other in content-specific conversations to deepen their learning. By the end of the lesson, students will understand that writing the equation 4 x 50 is showing them that there will be 4 groups with a total of 50 in each group. I hope students will feel excited to learn more in the upcoming lessons about multiples to further their learning.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.1: Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.3: Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1
FS1 is an EL student who is kind and models how to be kind and respectful to the teacher and others around them.
Assets: FS1 has mentioned they love learning new things when working on math in the class. They shared with me that math will help them understand fractions when working in the kitchen to cook with their mom. They confided in me that they want to continue learning math to be able to explain math to their family in Spanish at home.
Goal: FS1 will expand their vocabulary in relation to the content we are learning.
FS2 has a learning challenge on their IEP identified under Specialized Academic Instruction and Language and Speech services.
Assets: FS2 benefits from read aloud supports and picture examples to visualize the equation and understand the vocabulary being used. An alphabet chart, sight words list, graphic organizers, sentence frames, schedules and timers are also very helpful for FS2. Additional benefits include step-by-step support when working on math, visual aids, verbal and gestural prompts and modeling as needed with academic tasks.
Goal: FS2 will continue to use tools and manipulatives in order to understand math steps.
FS3 is an EL student with a 504 plan. FS3 was delayed in their developmental milestones and was then diagnosed with Autism and FAS.
Assets: FS3 social-emotional needs seem to have been met for them such as growing as a hard worker, following directions and socializing with peers inside and outside of the classroom. They volunteer in class, share their ideas with others, and are a kind and respectful student and classmate. They have grown in advocating for themselves and working independently at first then approaching the teacher if they need additional assistance.
Goal: FS3 will continue to advocate for themselves.
