I.  Preparing (to plan for instruction)

·        Materials:

Alabama Course of Study:  Mathematics, page 29, number 8, children's literature:  Each Orange Has 8 Slices, Hot Wheels (10 per student), transparencies, bingo cards, beans

·        Objectives:  The students will:

·        (Application) multiply numbers 1-10 by 4,

·        (Synthesis) construct multiplication problems using physical materials, and,

·        (Knowledge) recognize multiplication as repeated addition.

·        Grade Level:  third

II. Orienting (to establish purpose, build background, sustain motivation, and provide directions)

·        Anticipatory Set:  The teacher will read the book Each Orange Has 8 Slices to introduce multiplication.  The teacher will say, "Today, we are going to use Hot Wheels to help us learn to multiply by 4."

·        Purpose:  The teacher will say, "The purpose of this lesson is to learn how to multiply by 4.  We have already learned that multiplication is a quicker way of counting things."

·        Connection to previous learning/Build background knowledge:  The teacher will say, "Over the past few weeks, we have been learning how to multiply.  We have learned how to multiply by 1, 2, 3, and 5.  Today, we will learn how to multiply by 4."

III.  Presenting (to use sequential direct instruction)

·        Teaching Procedures:

·        The teacher will say, "As we have seen in our previous lessons, multiplication is repeated addition.  We will be doing the same thing today with sets of 4."

·        The teacher will show a transparency and say, "We have 4 sets of butterflies (point to each set and count), and there are 2 butterflies in each set (point out the 2 in each set)."

·        The teacher will write "4 sets of 2 =" and "4 x 2 =" on the board. 

·        The teacher will say, "How many butterflies do we have in all?  Count them with me."  (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) 

·        The teacher will say, "Now we see that 4 sets of 2, or 4 x 2, = 8."

·        The teacher will repeat this procedure with all of the numbers 1-10.

·        The teacher will relate the content to other subjects by giving examples of how to use multiplication.  The teacher will say, "If I put you in groups of 4 and tell you to read three pages each, you can multiply to find out how many pages you have to read."

IV.  Practicing and Summarizing (to reinforce and extend ideas)

·        Review:

·        (Application)  The teacher will ask a volunteer to give another way to say "4 sets of 4."

·        (Comprehension)  The teacher will call on volunteers to come to the board and solve problems.  The problems will have picture sets and number sentences similar to the transparencies.

·        Guided Practice:

·        The teacher will give everyone, including herself, 10 Hot Wheels.

·        The teacher will say, "Everyone pick up one car.  Count the wheels.  (1, 2, 3, 4)  We see that 4 wheels on 1 car, or 4 x 1 = 4."  The teacher will write 4 x 1 = 4 on the board.

·        The teacher and students will repeat this procedure until all 10 cars have been used.

·        Independent Practice:

·        The teacher will pass out bingo cards and beans.  The students will get into groups of two.

·        The teacher will say, "We are going to play multiplication bingo to practice what we have learned today and to review our 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x.  You may use your pencil and paper to figure out any problems you do not know.  For example, if the problem is 4 x 4, you can draw 4 sets of 4 dots and count them.  If you need help, ask your partner."

·        Summarizing:

·        The teacher will say, "Today, we learned how to multiply by 4.  I want all of you to go home and find things that come in sets of four and use multiplication to find out how many there are in all.  For example, find out how many legs there are on the chairs in your dining room.  If you have more than one dog, cat, or other four-legged animal, find out how many legs there are in all."

V.  Assessment (to check for attainment of objectives)

The teacher will use a checklist to assess the guided practice and independent practice activities.  The checklist will have the objectives listed as column headings.  Checks and minuses will be used to determine attainment.  For enrichment, those students will be instructed to use numbers higher than 10 when multiplying by 4.  For remediation, those students will stay on the concrete level by using their cars with numbers 1-6.
