Title:

Multiplication Comparisons

Content Knowledge - Objective:


Lesson Objective: Relate multiplication equations and comparison statement.

Essential Question: How can you model multiplication comparisons?

Common Core/ISTE Standard:

CC.4.OA.1 - Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 x 7 as a


statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal
statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

ISTE 3 - Knowledge Constructor: Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital
tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning
experiences for themselves and other.

Pedagogy:

Best Practices:
- I do, we do, you do
- Think - pair - share
- Drawing Models

How to group students:


- Heterogeneous grouping - when the students are working together, they will be
grouped in this way. Therefore they will build on each others knowledge and be able
to assist and question on another while working together.
- Homogenous grouping - when I am working with small groups, I will be pulling
students on a similar academic level or misconceptions that they are making.

Assessment Plan: Check off which apply: Detail How

- Informal : Exit Ticket


- Formal : Mid-chapter quiz

Technology for Learners Being Used

- Chromebooks
- Students will learn the content of the lesson by watching a video that the teacher
created. The students will access this video through Google Classroom and/or
Google Drive.
- They will be able to rewatch the video in order to reinforce the lesson or review
it to strengthen their understanding of the content.
- Students will access the Google Form to assess their learning
- Students will view presentation on the Interactive Smart Board

Technology for Teachers Being Used

- Chromebook
- Teacher will use Chromebook in order to create videos with the use of
Screencastify (Screen Video Recorder) and IPEVO Whiteboard. These two
apps allow the teacher to record the screen that is being shown, use a webcam
and voice recorders. The Whiteboard helps when I am going through a problem
with the students. This is an interactive whiteboard that the students can follow
along as the video is playing.
- Google Classroom
- Teacher will use Google Classroom as the platform to post videos as well as
give the students access to the google form that they will have to complete. This
will allow the teacher to view students responses and assess their learning.

What 21st Century Skills are Students Using?

Communication: The students will be communicating throughout this lesson. The first portion
of this lesson will give the students the opportunity to communicate their thoughts, reflections
and questions from the video. The students will also be communicating how they came to their
equation in small groups.
Collaborating: The students will be collaborating when they are working on practice questions
in class. The students will be grouped together and solving problems with one another. Then
the students will be collaborating when they are broken into similar (homogenous) groups after
the teacher has assessed them.

Introduction/Engagement:

- The day before the students will jot down all that they know about multiplication. This
will engage them in discussion with their classmates as well as accessing their prior
knowledge. This will prepare them in terms of what they can expect when viewing that
video.
Lesson: (developmental procedures)
- Video
- The students will be viewing their video on Multiplication Comparisons on
their own (preferably at home).
- Warm-up activity (5 minutes)
- The students will complete a short activity to assess their learning from the
previous nights video.

group of students that are homogenous in order to reteach the skill and
have small group direct instruction.
- The students that need more practice will continue working on the
problems on their own.
- The students that need to be enriched will be required to do part of the
problems and will then move on to the enrichment document.
- Math Centers (30 minutes)
- The students will be working in small groups with different activities around the
room.
- One of the activities will be using the Interactive Smart Board.
- Exit Ticket (5 minutes)
- In order to assess their knowledge, the students will complete a quick
assessment to see how they have comprehended the lesson from the night
before. At this point, they have reviewed the lesson, worked in groups and
independently in order to master the content. This assessment will help the
teacher to determine what steps need to be taken in the previous lessons in order
to better instruct each individual learner.

Modification:
- The students will have to view the video on their own.
- They will be asked to view the video at home for their homework. However if
the student does not have internet access or are unable to access the video at
home - they will be give time to view the video on their own in class.
- The students having the opportunity to pause and rewind a video modifies the lesson to
fit the needs of the individual learners.
- The struggling learners will be able to rewatch the video as many times as they
need.
- They will also be able to pause the video to take notes and comprehend what
the teacher is teaching them.
- While the students are working on practice problems, the teacher will modify her
instruction.
- Struggling students will be pulled into a small group in order to receive direct
instruction.
- Students that mastered the content will be asked to only do a selection of the
practice problems. They will then go onto the enrichment activity.

Enrichment:

- Enrichment Google Doc


- Students will have to write the equation and solve. They will also be required to
work collaboratively and draw a model to represent each word problem.
