This lesson plan was made during my student teaching semester. I was in a fourth grade class, and was teaching my fourth grade students about factors and multiples. Most of them were very confused, but after careful observation and planning with my cooperating teacher, we decided to create a game for them that would allow them to work in pairs and teach one another. The activity focused on them using their multiplication skills, and seeing which numbers could be factors of a specific number. When pairing them up, we made sure to put a student who was still confused with a student who understood the lesson together, that way they could support one another.

The worksheet was given to them and required them to use spinners to land on different numbers and think of the multiples of that number. Throughout the lesson, both me and the cooperating teacher were observing, and we were pleased to say that the students were actively engaging in this lesson together, and we're working with one another, and we're finally getting the hang of this specific topic.

This lesson not only had students practice something they were confused on, but built cooperation skills within each other, and gave them collaboration experience.
