Lesson Plan

This document provides a lesson plan for teaching 4th grade students how to estimate the product of 2-to 3-digit numbers and 1- to 2-digit numbers. The lesson includes engaging activities for students to practice estimating products, as well as explanations of the estimating concept and strategies. Students are assessed on their ability to accurately estimate products and explain their estimation approaches. The lesson concludes by having students create a poster about estimating multiplication.

Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: Grade 4

Objective: Estimates the product of 2-to 3-digit numbers and 1- to 2-digit


numbers with reasonable results.

Learning across the curriculum:

- Science: Estimating the weight or length of objects

- Social Studies: Estimating population or distance

- English: Estimating the number of words in a paragraph

Engage:

1. Show the students a picture of a shopping cart filled with various items. Ask them
to estimate the total cost of the items in the cart.

2. Play a game where the students have to estimate the number of objects in a jar.
The student with the closest estimate wins.

3. Show the students a video clip of a race and ask them to estimate the time it took
for the winner to finish.

Explore:

Activity 1: Estimating Products with 2-Digit Numbers

Materials: Whiteboard, markers, index cards

Instructions:

1. Divide the students into pairs.


2. Give each pair a set of index cards with different 2-digit numbers written on them.

3. Ask each pair to select two cards and estimate the product of the two numbers.

4. Have the pairs share their estimates with the class.

5. Calculate the actual products and compare them with the estimates.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of estimate: 5 points

- Explanation of estimate: 5 points

Assessment questions:

1. Estimate the product of 34 and 56.

2. Estimate the product of 78 and 92.

Activity 2: Estimating Products with 3-Digit Numbers

Materials: Worksheets, pencils

Instructions:

1. Distribute worksheets with multiplication problems involving 3-digit numbers.

2. Instruct the students to estimate the product of each problem before solving it.

3. After solving the problems, have the students compare their estimates with the
actual products.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of estimate: 5 points

- Correctness of solutions: 5 points


Assessment questions:

1. Estimate the product of 428 and 519.

2. Estimate the product of 675 and 312.

Activity 3: Estimating Products with 1- to 2-Digit Numbers

Materials: Dice, whiteboard, markers

Instructions:

1. Roll two dice to generate a 1- to 2-digit number.

2. Write the number on the whiteboard.

3. Ask the students to estimate the product of the rolled number and a given 1- to 2-
digit number.

4. Discuss the estimates as a class and calculate the actual products.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of estimate: 5 points

- Participation in class discussion: 5 points

Assessment questions:

1. Estimate the product of 7 and 15.

2. Estimate the product of 12 and 9.

Explain:

1. Teach the concept of estimation by explaining that it is a way of making an


educated guess based on reasonable assumptions.

2. Model the process of estimating products using different examples and highlight
the importance of considering the place value and magnitude of the numbers
involved.
Elaborate:

1. Have the students work in pairs to create their own estimation problems involving
2- to 3-digit numbers and 1- to 2-digit numbers. They should write the problem,
estimate the product, and solve it to check their estimate.

2. Conduct a class estimation challenge where students have to estimate the product
of different multiplication problems within a given time limit. The student with the
closest estimates wins.

Evaluate:

1. Assess the students' learning by giving them a set of multiplication problems and
having them estimate the products before solving them. Compare their estimates
with the actual products and provide feedback.

2. Use a rubric to evaluate the students' participation in class discussions and their
ability to explain their estimation strategies.

Assignment:

Create a poster or infographic that explains the concept of estimation and provides
tips for estimating products of 2- to 3-digit numbers and 1- to 2-digit numbers.
Include examples and illustrations to support your explanation.
