Lesson Title 5.3 Multiplication: Exploring patterns with the eight facts
5.4 Multiplication: Introducing the ones facts
5.7 Multiplication: Solving word problems
A brief description of the lesson’s content and how it relates to a larger unit of instruction. Explain why the skills and
knowledge are important for students to develop. Include prerequisite student knowledge required to meet lesson
outcomes and relationship to future learning.
In this lesson, I will teach students to practice prior knowledge and learn new multiplication skills. I will guide
students in noticing patterns in their eight facts by using an engaging math game and introducing the double-
double-double strategy. The students’ prior knowledge in order to be successful in finding patterns is being
proficient in their eight’s facts and doubling numbers. The students have practiced their multiplication facts daily
using the Rolling Math song. Students will also learn with the use of relevant and real-life content to introduce the
ones facts. Prior knowledge the student will need is the ability to recognize turn around facts and how to read
rectangular arrays. Students’ knowledge of turn around facts are always reinforced in every multiplication lesson.
Students have already been exposed to rectangular arrays and creating equations to match the arrays. Lastly, I will
teach students how to solve multiplication word problems by identifying number of groups and number in each
group. The prerequisite student knowledge required to meet the lesson outcomes include labeling multiplication
equations with groups and number in each group. In addition, students will need to find important information in the
word problems that are needed to create an equation.

Link to CDF 1c: Setting Instructional Outcomes
What the students are expected to be able to do and/or to know by the end of the lesson or by the end of multiple
lessons.
Students will be able to use identify patterns in multiplication and how multiplication can be used in real-life with the
use of visuals and word problems.
Student Assessments

Checks for student understanding throughout the lesson (formative assessment tasks) and evaluation of how the
students have met the student learning outcomes including the evaluation criteria (summative assessments) and all
assessment tools.
Checks for student understanding throughout the lesson will be dictated through student responses and
participation throughout the lesson and in the guided practice segment of the lesson. Teacher candidate will use
anecdotal notes. For the summative assessment, teacher candidate will use the students’ Stepping Stones
workbook for each module for accuracy of strategy used and completion.

A description of the sequence of learning experiences (what the teacher will do and say and what the students will
do during the lesson) including the launch of the lesson, the ways the materials will be presented, the ways the
students will actively engage in learning, the questions posed, and the lesson closure.

Differentiation According to Students’ Needs
Link to CDF 1b: Knowledge of Students
Link to CDF 1e: Designing Coherent Instruction
Adaptations/modifications to instructional strategies, the learning environment, content, and/or assessment tasks to
ensure that all students (e.g., students who have IEPs/504 plans, students who are speakers of other languages,
students who have advanced or emergent proficiency with the content and concepts) have access to and are able
to engage actively in the lesson.
All materials, handouts, resources, and technology tools that are needed to execute the lesson.
An analysis of the effectiveness of the lesson (what worked well? what did not work as well?) in terms of student
learning and the extent to which the instructional outcomes were achieved based on specific evidence from the
lesson and references to evidence-based practices and theories of student learning. A description of how you will
use what you learned from reflecting on this lesson in your future teaching.
After teaching the unit plan, the overall effectiveness of the lessons was successful. At the end of each lesson, the
students were able to show their learning through the completion of their Stepping Stones workbook. The students
were able to work with a partner or a group to complete their Stepping Stones workbook and were given the
opportunity to redo incorrect problems. According to Himmele & Himmele (2009), group work/pair work is an
effective strategy for student engagement and motivation. Although the students were able to successfully
complete their Stepping Stones workbook, student engagement throughout the lessons weren’t evident. In lessons
2 and 3, student engagement during whole group instruction was low, whereas in lesson 1, student engagement
was high. I believe this was due to the activity the students were asked to accomplish in lesson 1 which included a
math game to assist students in learning their eight’s facts. The students showed enthusiasm and produced more
quality word and answers to questions after they were able to practice their eight’s facts math skills. Due to this
fact, I will attempt to incorporate more math games into the classroom for a more enriching and engaging lesson.

Overall class performance: Students were able to grasp the patterns in the eight’s facts from playing the eight’s facts
game. Using higher-order questions, students identified the patterns in the debrief after the game.
Student performance: Students who usually struggle with noticing patterns were able to participate in the debrief
discussion and point out a pattern they noticed. For example, one said they noticed the ones digit ends in a 0,2,4,6, or 8.
Reflection for next lesson: Eight’s facts are usually an obstacle. One’s facts should be easier for students.

Overall class performance: Students performed successfully as expected. Some students needed to check their work and
resolve some problems in their Stepping Stones workbook.
Student performance: Student who usually meets expectations were challenged in creating their own word problem using
a one’s fact equation.
Reflection for next lesson: This was a good practice for the word problem lesson. Students will be challenged and will
have to learn to point out important parts of a word problem.

Overall class performance: Although students did well in their Stepping Stones workbook, I had to review/model more
questions than anticipated in order for the students to fully grasp the content.
Student performance: I had to pull a small group to provide them more guided practice on labeling/decoding the word
problems in order to solve it. They did well on the rest of the problems independently.
Reflection for next lesson: Continue to review word problems and noticing what the important and unimportant parts of the
word problems.
