Multiplication Unit Plan I

EE 333
Grade Level: 3rd Grade
Length of Unit in Days: Five 60 minute lesson/ 5-6 days
TextBook: Mathematics Teachers edition by houghton mifflin
Prerequisite Skills:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.2

Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.C.3
Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members,
e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even
number as a sum of two equal addends.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.C.4
Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to
5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal
addends.
Standards:
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.OA.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.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.B.5
Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.2 Examples: If 6 4 =
24 is known, then 4 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3
5 2 can be found by 3 5 = 15, then 15 2 = 30, or by 5 2 = 10, then 3 10 =
30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 5 = 40 and 8 2 = 16,
one can find 8 7 as 8 (5 + 2) = (8 5) + (8 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive
property.)
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between
multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 5 = 40, one knows 40 5 = 8) or
properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two
one-digit numbers.

Title

Goals

1 (Vivian)

Modeling multiplication
ex. 2 + 2+ 2 +2 +2= 2 x 5

Extending the prior

knowledge to learn how to
use addition to find the
answer to the multiplication
problem.

2(sarah)

Arrays and multiplication

Using arrays to find solution

to the multiplication problem.

3 (Cathy)

Multiply with 2

Becoming familiar with the

multiplication factor of 2 by
using different ways to
multiply.

4 (Adelaida)

Multiply with 5

Using strategies previously

learned and applying to
multiplication factor of 5.

5 (yvonne)

Multiply with 10

Deepen understanding of
strategies used and another
way to remember
multiplication factor of 10.

Highlighting Mathematical Practices:

1. Modeling multiplication as repeated addition
2. Model multiplication with arrays
3. Make sense of commutative property of multiplication
4. Use appropriate strategy to find answer for multiplication facts for 2,5,10
